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…
Toward new scaling laws for wrinkling in biologically relevant fiber-reinforced bilayers
A. Mirandola, A. Cutolo, A. R. Carotenuto +4
Wrinkling, creasing and folding are frequent phenomena encountered in biological and man-made bilayers made by thin films bonded to thicker and softer substrates often containing f…
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…
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…
Growth of a flexible fibre in a deformable ring
Arsenio Cutolo, Massimiliano Fraldi, Gaetano Napoli +1
We study the equilibrium configurations related to the growth of an elastic fibre in a confining flexible ring. This system represents a paradigm for a variety of biological, medic…
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…
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…
