Strain-stiffening critical exponents of fiber networks under uniaxial deformation
Atharva Pandit, Fred C. MacKintosh, Abhinav Sharma
Disordered fiber networks exhibit a floppy to rigid mechanical phase transition as a function of connectivity. Sub-isostatically connected networks can undergo this transition via…

Elasticity of fibrous networks under axial prestress
Mahsa Vahabi, Abhinav Sharma, Albert James Licup +4
We present theoretical and experimental studies of the elastic response of fibrous networks subjected to uniaxial strain. Uniaxial compression or extension is applied to extracellu…
