A discrete model for layered growth
Davide Renzi, Sonia Marfia, Giuseppe Tomassetti +1
In this work we present a discrete model that captures the fundamental properties of additively manufactured solids in a minimal setting. The model is based on simplified kinematic…
A theory of magneto-elastic nanorods obtained through rigorous dimension reduction
Jacopo Ciambella, Martin Kružík, Giuseppe Tomassetti
Starting from a two-dimensional theory of magneto-elasticity for fiber-reinforced magnetic elastomers we carry out a rigorous dimension reduction to derive a rod model that describ…
Competition between epithelial tissue elasticity and surface tension in cancer morphogenesis
Antonino Favata, Roberto Paroni, Filippo Recrosi +1
We derive a continuum mechanical model to capture the morphological changes occurring at the pretumoral stage of epithelial tissues. The proposed model aims to investigate the comp…
Equilibrium of Kirchhoff's rods subject to a distribution of magnetic couples
Marzio Lembo, Giuseppe Tomassetti
The equilibrium of magneto-elastic rods, formed of an elastic matrix containing a uniform distribution of paramagnetic particles, that are subject to terminal loads and are immerse…
Treadmilling stability of a one-dimensional actin growth model
Rohan Abeyaratne, Eric Puntel, Giuseppe Tomassetti
Actin growth is a fundamental biophysical process and it is, at the same time, a prototypical example of diffusion-mediated surface growth. We formulate a coupled chemo-mechanical,…
Modeling the diffusion of a fluid in a strained solid: a comparison between different formats
Giuseppe Tomassetti
We revise the format proposed by Bowen in [R.~M. Bowen. Int. J. Eng. Sci., 18(9):1129--1148, 1980.] to describe incompressible porous media by use of the theory of mixtures. We the…
