The mechano-chemistry of cytoskeletal force generation
Mirko Maraldi, Krishna Garikipati
In this communication, we propose a model to study the non-equilibrium process by which actin stress fibers develop force in contractile cells. The emphasis here is on the non-equi…
A computational study of stress fiber-focal adhesion dynamics governing cell contractility
Mirko Maraldi, Clara Valero, Krishna Garikipati
We apply a recently developed model of cytoskeletal force generation to study a cell intrinsic contractility, as well as its response to external loading. The model is based on a n…
A macroscale, phase-field model for shape memory alloys with non-isothermal effects: influence of strain-rate and environmental conditions on the mechanical response
D. Grandi, M. Maraldi, L. Molari
A Ginzburg-Landau model for the macroscopic behaviour of a shape memory alloy is proposed. The model is one-dimensional in essence, in that we consider the effect of the martensiti…
A thermodynamical model for concurrent diffusive and displacive phase transitions
Mirko Maraldi, Luisa Molari, Diego Grandi
A thermodynamically consistent framework able to model either diffusive and displacive phase transitions is proposed. The first law of thermodynamics, the balance of linear momentu…
Phase field model for coupled displacive and diffusive microstructural processes under thermal loading
Mirko Maraldi, Garth N. Wells, Luisa Molari
A non-isothermal phase field model that captures both displacive and diffusive phase transformations in a unified framework is presented. The model is developed in a formal thermod…
