Strain-driven criticality underlies nonlinear mechanics of fibrous networks
A. Sharma, A. J. Licup, R. Rens +4
Networks with only central force interactions are floppy when their average connectivity is below an isostatic threshold. Although such networks are mechanically unstable, they can…

Strain-controlled criticality governs the nonlinear mechanics of fibre networks
A. Sharma, A. J. Licup, R. Rens +4
Disordered fibrous networks are ubiquitous in nature as major structural components of living cells and tissues. The mechanical stability of networks generally depends on the degre…

Active biopolymer networks generate scale-free but euclidean clusters
M. Sheinman, A. Sharma, J. Alvarado +2
We report analytical and numerical modelling of active elastic networks, motivated by experiments on crosslinked actin networks contracted by myosin motors. Within a broad range of…
