Nanoscale topography and poroelastic properties of model tissue breast gland basement membranes
Gloria Fabris, Alessandro Lucantonio, Nico Hampe +4
Basement membranes (BMs) are thin layers of condensed extracellular matrix proteins serving as permeability filters, cellular anchoring sites, and barriers against cancer cell inva…
Spontaneous morphing of equibiaxially pre-stretched elastic bilayers: the role of sample geometry
Noè Caruso, Aleksandar Cvetković, Alessandro Lucantonio +2
An elastic bilayer, consisting of an equibiaxially pre-stretched sheet bonded to a stress-free one, spontaneously morphs into curved shapes in the absence of external loads or cons…
Coupled swelling and nematic reordering in liquid crystal gels
Alessandro Lucantonio, Antonio DeSimone
We derive a multiphysics model that accounts for network elasticity with spontaneous strains, swelling and nematic interactions in liquid crystal gels (LCGs). We discuss the coupli…
Heterogeneous elastic plates with in-plane modulation of the target curvature and applications to thin gel sheets
Virginia Agostiniani, Alessandro Lucantonio, Danka Lučić
We rigorously derive a Kirchhoff plate theory, via -convergence, from a three-di\-men\-sio\-nal model that describes the finite elasticity of an elastically heterogeneous, thin…
Concurrent factors determine toughening in the hydraulic fracture of poroelastic composites
Alessandro Lucantonio, Giovanni Noselli
Brittle materials fail catastrophically. In consequence of their limited flaw-tolerance, failure occurs by localized fracture and is typically a dynamic process. Recently, experime…
Large-strain poroelastic plate theory for polymer gels with applications to swelling-induced morphing of composite plates
Alessandro Lucantonio, Giuseppe Tomassetti, Antonio DeSimone
We derive a large-strain plate model that allows to describe transient, coupled processes involving elasticity and solvent migration, by performing a dimensional reduction of a thr…
