Topology counts: force distributions in circular spring networks
Knut M. Heidemann, Andrew O. Sageman-Furnas, Abhinav Sharma +3
Filamentous polymer networks govern the mechanical properties of many biological materials. Force distributions within these networks are typically highly inhomogeneous and, althou…
