Entropy Production and the Pressure-Volume Curve of the Lung
Cláudio L. N. Oliveira, Ascânio D. Araújo, Jason H. T. Bates +2
We investigate analytically the production of entropy during a breathing cycle in healthy and diseased lungs. First, we calculate entropy production in healthy lungs by applying th…
Invasion Percolation with a Hardening Interface under Gravity
C. L. N. Oliveira, Falk K. Wittel, J. S. Andrade +1
We propose a modified Invasion Percolation (IP) model to simulate the infiltration of glue into a porous medium under gravity in 2D. Initially, the medium is saturated with air and…
Explosive metallic breakdown
Cláudio L. N. Oliveira, Nuno A. M. Araújo, José S. Andrade +1
We investigate the metallic breakdown of a substrate on which highly conducting particles are adsorbed and desorbed with a probability that depends on the local electric field. We…
A network model of correlated growth of tissue stiffening in pulmonary fibrosis
Cláudio L. N. Oliveira, Jason H. T. Bates, Béla Suki
During the progression of pulmonary fibrosis, initially isolated regions of high stiffness form and grow in the lung tissue due to collagen deposition by fibroblast cells. We have…
Enhanced Flow in Small-World Networks
Cláudio L. N. Oliveira, Pablo A. Morais, André A. Moreira +1
The small-world property is known to have a profound effect on the navigation efficiency of complex networks [J. M. Kleinberg, Nature 406, 845 (2000)]. Accordingly, the proper addi…
Fatigue in disordered media
Cláudio L. N. Oliveira, André P. Vieira, Hans J. Herrmann +1
We obtain the Paris law of fatigue crack propagation in a disordered solid using a fuse network model where the accumulated damage in each resistor increases with time as a power l…
