A predictive microstructure-based approach for the anisotropic damage, residual stretches and hysteresis in biodegradable sutures
Gennaro Vitucci, Domenico De Tommasi, Giuseppe Puglisi +1
We propose a predictive model for the mechanical behavior of biodegradable polymers of interest for biomedical applications. Starting from a detailed description of the network beh…
Fractality in selfsimilar minimal mass structures
D. De Tommasi, F. Maddalena, G. Puglisi +1
In this paper we study the diffusely observed occurrence of Fractality and Self-organized Criticality in mechanical systems. We analytically show, based on a prototypical compresse…
Multiscale mechanics of macromolecular materials with unfolding domains
Domenico De Tommasi, Giuseppe Puglisi, Giuseppe Saccomandi
We propose a general multiscale approach for the mechanical behavior of three-dimensional networks of macromolecules undergoing strain-induced unfolding. Starting from a (statistic…
