A constitutive law for cross-linked actin networks by homogenization techniques
Denis Caillerie, Karin John, Chaouqi Misbah +2
Inspired by experiments on the actin driven propulsion of micrometer sized beads we develop and study a minimal mechanical model of a two-dimensional network of stiff elastic filam…
The random walk of a low-Reynolds-number swimmer
Michaël Garcia, Stefano Berti, Philippe Peyla +1
Swimming at a micrometer scale demands particular strategies. Indeed when inertia is negligible as compared to viscous forces (i.e. Reynolds number is lower than unity), hydro…
Comparison between advected-field and level-set methods in the study of vesicle dynamics
E. Maitre, C. Misbah, P. Peyla +1
Phospholipidic membranes and vesicles constitute a basic element in real biological functions. Vesicles are viewed as a model system to mimic basic viscoelastic behaviors of some c…
