Local Nonlinear Elastic Response of Extracellular Matrices
Haiqian Yang, Estelle Berthier, Chenghai Li +5
Nonlinear stiffening is a ubiquitous property of major types of biopolymers that make up the extracellular matrices (ECM) including collagen, fibrin and basement membrane. Within t…
Nonlinear mechanosensation in fiber networks
Estelle Berthier, Haiqian Yang, Ming Guo +2
In a diversity of physiological contexts, eukaryotic cells adhere to an extracellular matrix (ECM), a disordered network with complex nonlinear mechanics. Such cells can perform me…
How criticality meets bifurcation in compressive failure of disordered solids
Ashwij Mayya, Estelle Berthier, Laurent Ponson
Continuum mechanics describes compressive failure as a standard bifurcation in the response of a material to an increasing load: damage, which initially grows uniformly in the mate…
