Unveiling a new shear stress transfer mechanism in composites with helically wound hierarchical fibres
A. Cutolo, A. R. Carotenuto, S. Palumbo +3
The mechanical performance of reinforced composites is strongly influenced at different scales by the stress transferred at the matrix-fibre interfaces and at any surface where mat…
Mechanobiology predicts raft formations triggered by ligand-receptor activity across the cell membrane
A. R. Carotenuto, L. Lunghi, V. Piccolo +6
Clustering of ligand-binding receptors of different types on thickened isles of the cell membrane, namely lipid rafts, is an experimentally observed phenomenon. Although its influe…
Buckling Soft Tensegrities: Fickle Elasticity and Configurational Switching in Living Cells
Massimiliano Fraldi, Stefania Palumbo, Angelo Rosario Carotenuto +3
Tensegrity structures are special architectures made by floating compressed struts kept together by a continuous system of tensed cables. The multiplicity of shapes that tensegrity…
