Effect of Poisson ratio on cellular structure formation
Ilka B. Bischofs, Ulrich S. Schwarz
Mechanically active cells in soft media act as force dipoles. The resulting elastic interactions are long-ranged and favor the formation of strings. We show analytically that due t…

Adhesion clusters under shared linear loading: a stochastic analysis
T. Erdmann, U. S. Schwarz
We study the cooperative rupture of multiple adhesion bonds under shared linear loading. Simulations of the appropriate Master equation are compared with numerical integration of a…

Stability of adhesion clusters under constant force
T. Erdmann, U. S. Schwarz
We solve the stochastic equations for a cluster of parallel bonds with shared constant loading, rebinding and the completely dissociated state as an absorbing boundary. In the smal…
