A framework for finite-strain viscoelasticity based on rheological representations
Chongran Zhao, Hongyan Yuan, Ju Liu
This work presents a new constitutive and computational framework based on strain-like internal variables belonging to Sym(3) and two representative rheological configurations. The…

Epithelial-substrate coupling strength regulates the landscape of the traction in cohesive monolayers: a parametric study and a revisit to "size effect"
Tiankai Zhao, Hongyan Yuan
Epithelial cells can assemble into cohesive colonies and collectively interact with substrates by generating extracellular forces through focal adhesions. Recently, a molecularly b…

The analytical solution to the migration of an epithelial monolayer with a circular spreading front and its implications in the gap closure process
Tiankai Zhao, Hongyan Yuan
The coordinated behaviors of epithelial cells are widely observed in tissue development, such as re-epithelialization, tumor growth, and morphogenesis. In these processes, cells ei…
