On growth and morphogenesis in mechanobiology
Angelo Rosario Carotenuto, Stefania Palumbo, Arsenio Cutolo +1
Morphoelasticity represents a foundational theory for tracing back growth, remodelling, and morphogenesis, yet crucial challenges persist. A unified growth law -- independent of a…
Bimodal buckling governs human fingers luxation
Massimiliano Fraldi, Stefania Palumbo, Arsenio Cutolo +2
Equilibrium bifurcation in natural systems can sometimes be explained as a route to stress shielding for preventing failure. Although compressive buckling has been known for a long…
Toughening and mechanosensing in bone: a perfectly balanced mechanism based on competing stresses
M. Fraldi, A. Cutolo, A. R. Carotenuto +3
Bone is a stiff and though, hierarchical and continuously evolving material that optimizes its structure to respond to mechanical stimuli, which also govern growth and remodeling p…
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…
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…
