Ordering of adsorbed rigid rods mediated by the Boussinesq interaction on a soft substrate
Sunita Kumari, Fangfu Ye, Rudolf Podgornik
Orientational ordering driven by mechanical distortion of soft substrates plays a major role in material transformation processes such as elastocapillarity and surface anchoring. W…
Modeling Multi-Cellular Dynamics Regulated by ECM-Mediated Mechanical Communication via Active Particles with Polarized Effective Attraction
Yu Zheng, Qihui Fan, Christopher Eddy +4
Collective cell migration is crucial to many physiological and pathological processes. Recent experimental studies have indicated that the active traction forces generated by migra…
Hydrogen Polarity of Interfacial Water Regulates Heterogeneous Ice Nucleation
Mingzhe Shao, Chuanbiao Zhang, Conghai Qi +4
Using all-atomic molecular dynamics(MD) simulations, we show that various substrates could induce interfacial water (IW) to form the same ice-like oxygen lattice but different hydr…
Modeling cell migration regulated by cell-ECM micromechanical coupling
Yu Zheng, Hanqing Nan, Qihui Fan +6
Cell migration in fibreous extracellular matrix (ECM) is crucial to many physiological and pathological processes such as tissue regeneration, immune response and cancer progressio…
The role of deformability in determining the structural and mechanical properties of bubbles and emulsions
Arman Boromand, Alexandra Signoriello, Janna Lowensohn +5
We perform computational studies of jammed particle packings in two dimensions undergoing isotropic compression using the well-characterized soft particle (SP) model and the deform…
Jamming of Deformable Polygons
Arman Boromand, Alexandra Signoriello, Fangfu Ye +2
There are two main classes of physics-based models for two-dimensional cellular materials: packings of repulsive disks and the vertex model. These models have several disadvantages…
