A Model for Compression-Weakening Materials and the Elastic Fields due to Contractile Cells
Phoebus Rosakis, Jacob Notbohm, Guruswami Ravichandran
We construct a homogeneous, nonlinear elastic constitutive law, that models aspects of the mechanical behavior of inhomogeneous fibrin networks. Fibers in such networks buckle when…

Microbuckling of Fibrin Provides a Mechanism for Cell Mechanosensing
Jacob Notbohm, Ayelet Lesman, Phoebus Rosakis +2
Biological cells sense and respond to mechanical forces, but how such a mechanosensing proccess takes place in a nonlinear inhomogeneous fibrous matrix remains unknown. We show tha…
