Towards predicting shear-banding instabilities in lipid monolayers
A. R. Carotenuto, A. Gaffney, K. Y. C. Lee +3
Langmuir monolayers are advantageous systems used to investigate how lipid membranes get involved in the physiology of many living structures, such as collapse phenomena in alveola…
Distal and non-symmetrical crack nucleation in delamination of plates via dimensionally-reduced peridynamics
Riccardo Cavuoto, Arsenio Cutolo, Kaushik Dayal +2
Exploiting the framework of peridynamics, a dimensionally-reduced plate formulation is developed that allows for the through-thickness nucleation and growth of fracture surfaces, e…
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…
Disarrangements and instabilities in 1D hyperelasticity
S. Palumbo, L. Deseri, D. R. Owen +1
In the present work, the overall nonlinear elastic behavior of a 1D multi-modular structure incorporating possible imperfections at the discrete (micro-scale) level, is derived wit…
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…
Fractional Hereditariness of Lipid Membranes: Instabilities and Linearized Evolution
L. Deseri, P. Pollaci, M. Zingales +1
In this work lipid ordering phase changes arising in planar membrane bilayers is investigated both accounting for elas- ticity alone and for effective viscoelastic response of such…
Coherent motion of monolayer sheets under confinement and its pathological implications
S. S. Soumya, Animesh Gupta, Andrea Cugno +5
Coherent angular rotation of epithelial cells is thought to contribute to many vital physiological processes including tissue morphogenesis and glandular formation. However, factor…
