Stress distribution in contractile cell monolayers
Yucheng Huo, Kexin Guo, Massimo Paradiso +1
Collective behaviors in cellular systems are regulated not only by biochemical signalling pathways but also by intercellular mechanical forces, whose quantification in contractile…
Discrete Differential Geometry for Simulating Nonlinear Behaviors of Flexible Systems: A Survey
Dezhong Tong, Andrew Choi, Jiaqi Wang +7
Flexible slender structures such as rods, ribbons, plates, and shells exhibit extreme nonlinear responses bending, twisting, buckling, wrinkling, and self contact, that defy conven…
Midveins regulate the shape formation of drying leaves
Kexin Guo, Yafei Zhang, Massimo Paradiso +3
Dried leaves in nature often exhibit curled and crumpled morphologies, typically attributed to internal strain gradients that produce dome-like shapes. However, the origin of these…
A tutorial on simulating nonlinear behaviors of flexible structures with the discrete differential geometry (DDG) method
Weicheng Huang, Zhuonan Hao, Jiahao Li +6
Flexible elastic structures, such as beams, rods, ribbons, plates, and shells, exhibit complex nonlinear dynamical behaviors that are central to a wide range of engineering and sci…
