Loops versus lines and the compression stiffening of cells
M. C. Gandikota, Katarzyna Pogoda, Anne van Oosten +4
Both animal and plant tissue exhibit a nonlinear rheological phenomenon known as compression stiffening, or an increase in moduli with increasing uniaxial compressive strain. Does…

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…
