Cell reorientation under cyclic stretching
Ariel Livne, Eran Bouchbinder, Benjamin Geiger
Mechanical cues from the extracellular microenvironment play a central role in regulating the structure, function and fate of living cells. Nevertheless, the precise nature of the…
The 1/r singularity in weakly nonlinear fracture mechanics
Eran Bouchbinder, Ariel Livne, Jay Fineberg
Material failure by crack propagation essentially involves a concentration of large displacement-gradients near a crack's tip, even at scales where no irreversible deformation and…
The Structure of the Nonlinear Elastic Zone near the Tip of a Rapid Brittle Crack
Eran Bouchbinder, Ariel Livne, Jay Fineberg
This paper has been withdrawn by the authors due to new available results. A revised version, that incorporates the new results, will be submitted later.
Weakly Nonlinear Theory of Dynamic Fracture
Eran Bouchbinder, Ariel Livne, Jay Fineberg
The common approach to crack dynamics, linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM), assumes infinitesimal strains and predicts a strain divergence at a crack tip. We extend…
The Breakdown of Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics near the Tip of a Rapid Crack
Ariel Livne, Eran Bouchbinder, Jay Fineberg
We present high resolution measurements of the displacement and strain fields near the tip of a dynamic (Mode I) crack. The experiments are performed on polyacrylamide gels, brittl…
Oscillations in Rapid Fracture
Ariel Livne, Oded Ben-David, Jay Fineberg
Experiments of pure tensile fracture in brittle gels reveal a new dynamic oscillatory instability whose onset occurs at a critical velocity, Vc = 0.87 Cs, where Cs is the shear wav…
