Rigidity of Epithelial Tissues as a Double Optimization Problem
Sadjad Arzash, Indrajit Tah, Andrea J. Liu +1
How do cells tune emergent properties at the scale of tissues? One class of such emergent behaviors are rigidity transitions, in which a tissue changes from a solid-like to a fluid…
Effects of local incompressibility on the rheology of composite biopolymer networks
Anupama Gannavarapu, Sadjad Arzash, Iain Muntz +4
Fibrous networks such as collagen are common in biological systems. Recent theoretical and experimental efforts have shed light on the mechanics of single component networks. Most…
Mechanical criticality of fiber networks at a finite temperature
Sadjad Arzash, Anupama Gannavarapu, Fred C. MacKintosh
At zero temperature, spring networks with connectivity below Maxwell's isostatic threshold undergo a mechanical phase transition from a floppy state at small strains to a rigid sta…
