Viscoelastic scaling regimes for marginally-rigid fractal spring networks
David Head
A family of marginally-rigid (isostatic) spring networks with fractal structure up to a controllable length was devised and the viscoelastic spectra calculated. Two non-…
Non-affinity and fluid-coupled viscoelastic plateau for immersed fiber networks
David Head, Cornelis Storm
We employ a matrix-based solver for the linear rheology of fluid-immersed disordered spring networks to reveal four distinct dynamic response regimes. One regime - completely absen…
In silico modeling of the rheological properties of covalently crosslinked collagen triple helices
David A. Head, Giuseppe Tronci, Stephen J. Russell +1
Biomimetic hydrogels based on natural polymers are a promising class of biomaterial, mimicking the natural extra-cellular matrix of biological tissues and providing cues for cell a…
Importance of non-affine viscoelastic response in disordered fibre networks
L. G. Rizzi, S. Auer, D. A. Head
Disordered fibre networks are ubiquitous in nature and have a wide range of industrial applications as novel biomaterials. Predicting their viscoelastic response is straightforward…
Local mechanical response in semiflexible polymer networks subjected to an axisymmetric prestress
D. A. Head, D. Mizuno
Analytical and numerical calculations are presented for the mechanical response of fiber networks in a state of axisymmetric prestress, in the limit where geometric non-linearities…
Spindles and active vortices in a model of confined filament-motor mixtures
David A. Head, W. J. Briels, Gerhard Gompper
Robust self-organization of subcellular structures is a key principle governing the dynamics and evolution of cellular life. In fission yeast cells undergoing division, the mitotic…
