Mesoscale shock structure in particulate composites
Suraj Ravindran, Vatsa Gandhi, Barry Lawlor +1
Multiscale experiments in heterogeneous materials and the knowledge of their physics under shock compression are limited. This study examines the multiscale shock response of parti…
Three dimensional full-field velocity measurements in shock compression experiments using stereo digital image correlation
Suraj Ravindran, Vatsa Gandhi, Akshay Joshi +1
Shock compression plate impact experiments conventionally rely on point-wise velocimetry measurements based on laser-based interferometric techniques. This study presents an experi…
Stress percolation criticality of glass to fluid transition in active cell layers
Siavash Monfared, Guruswami Ravichandran, Jose E. Andrade +1
Using three-dimensional representation of confluent cell layers, we map the amorphous solid to fluid phase transition in active cell layers onto the two-dimensional (2D) site perco…
Mechanical basis and topological routes to cell elimination
Siavash Monfared, Guruswami Ravichandran, Jose E. Andrade +1
Cell layers eliminate unwanted cells through the extrusion process, which underlines healthy versus flawed tissue behaviors. Although several biochemical pathways have been identif…
Cells exploit a phase transition to mechanically remodel the fibrous extracellular matrix
Georgios Grekas, Maria Proestaki, Phoebus Rosakis +3
Through mechanical forces, biological cells remodel the surrounding collagen network, generating striking deformation patterns. Tethers-tracts of high densification and fiber align…
A Minimal Mechanosensing Model Predicts Keratocyte Evolution on Flexible Substrates
Zhiwen Zhang, Phoebus Rosakis, Thomas Y. Hou +1
A mathematical model is proposed for shape evolution and locomotion of fish epidermal keratocytes on elastic substrates. The model is based on mechanosensing concepts: cells apply…
