Stress-stabilized sub-isostatic fiber networks in a rope-like limit
Sadjad Arzash, Jordan L. Shivers, Albert J. Licup +2
The mechanics of disordered fibrous networks such as those that make up the extracellular matrix are strongly dependent on the local connectivity or coordination number. For biopol…
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…
Elastic regimes of sub-isostatic athermal fiber networks
Albert James Licup, Abhinav Sharma, Fred C. MacKintosh
Athermal models of disordered fibrous networks are highly useful for studying the mechanics of elastic networks composed of stiff biopolymers. The underlying network architecture i…
Stress controls the mechanics of collagen networks
Albert James Licup, Stefan Münster, Abhinav Sharma +5
Collagen is the main structural and load-bearing element of various connective tissues, where it forms the extracellular matrix that supports cells. It has long been known that col…
