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…
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…
