Critical scaling and aging in cooling systems near the jamming transition
D. A. Head
We conduct athermal simulations of freely-cooling, viscous soft spheres around the jamming transition density ϕ_{J}, and find evidence for a growing length ξ(t) that governs relaxa…

The mechanical response of semiflexible networks to localized perturbations
D. A. Head, A. J. Levine, F. C. MacKintosh
Previous research on semiflexible polymers including cytoskeletal networks in cells has suggested the existence of distinct regimes of elastic response, in which the strain field i…

Distinct regimes of elastic response and deformation modes of cross-linked cytoskeletal and semiflexible polymer networks
D. A. Head, A. J. Levine, F. C. MacKintosh
Semiflexible polymers such as filamentous actin play a vital role in the mechanical behavior of cells, yet the basic properties of cross-linked F-actin networks remain poorly under…
