Strain-driven criticality underlies nonlinear mechanics of fibrous networks
A. Sharma, A. J. Licup, R. Rens +4
Networks with only central force interactions are floppy when their average connectivity is below an isostatic threshold. Although such networks are mechanically unstable, they can…

Strain-controlled criticality governs the nonlinear mechanics of fibre networks
A. Sharma, A. J. Licup, R. Rens +4
Disordered fibrous networks are ubiquitous in nature as major structural components of living cells and tissues. The mechanical stability of networks generally depends on the degre…

Multi-scale strain-stiffening of semiflexible bundle networks
I. K. Piechocka, K. A. Jansen, C. P. Broedersz +3
Bundles of polymer filaments are responsible for the rich and unique mechanical behaviors of many biomaterials, including cells and extracellular matrices. In fibrin biopolymers, w…
