Molecular dynamics simulations reveal internal tension in native state collagen fibrils
Konstantinos Steiakakis, Alan Pichard, Maxime Vassaux
Collagen fibrils are the building block of many biological tissues, which viability depend on the fibrils properties. Altered properties of collagen fibrils are central to the appe…
Shocking a Shock Wave for Nonlinear Summation of GPa Pressures
Jet Lem, Yun Kai, Maxime Vassaux +3
Exploring shock-shock interactions has been limited by experimental constraints, particularly in laser-induced shock experiments due to specialized equipment requirements. Herein,…
The Capriccio method as a versatile tool for quantifying the fracture properties of glassy materials under complex loading conditions with chemical specificity
Felix Weber, Maxime Vassaux, Lukas Laubert +1
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are widely used to provide insights into fracture mechanisms while maintaining chemical specificity. However, particle-based techniques such as…
Heterogeneous structure and dynamics of water in a hydrated collagen microfibril
Maxime Vassaux
Collagen type I is well-known for its outstanding mechanical properties which it inherits from its hierarchical structure. Collagen type I fibrils may be viewed as an heterogeneous…
