Nonlinear Rheology in a Model Biological Tissue
D. A. Matoz-Fernandez, Elisabeth Agoritsas, Jean-Louis Barrat +2
Mechanical signaling plays a key role in biological processes like embryo development and cancer growth. One prominent way to probe mechanical properties of tissues is to study the…
Cell division and death inhibit glassy behaviour of confluent tissues
D. A. Matoz-Fernandez, K. Martens, Rastko Sknepnek +2
We investigate the effects of cell division and apopotosis on collective dynamics in two-dimensional epithelial tissues. Our model includes three key ingredients observed across ma…
Inertia and universality of avalanche statistics: The case of slowly deformed amorphous solids
Kamran Karimi, Ezequiel E. Ferrero, Jean-Louis Barrat
By means of a finite elements technique we solve numerically the dynamics of an amorphous solid under deformation in the quasistatic driving limit. We study the noise statistics of…
Relation of vibrational excitations and thermal conductivity to elastic heterogeneities in disordered solids
Hideyuki Mizuno, Stefano Mossa, Jean-Louis Barrat
In crystals, molecules thermally vibrate around the periodic lattice sites. Vibrational motions are well understood in terms of phonons, which carry heat and control heat transport…
