Morphomechanical model of the torsional c-looping in the embryonic heart
Giulia Bevilacqua, Pasquale Ciarletta, Alfio Quarteroni
Before septation processes shape its four chambers, the embryonic heart is a straight tube that spontaneously bends and twists breaking the left-right symmetry. In particular, the…
Torsion instability of soft solid cylinders
Pasquale Ciarletta, Michel Destrade
The application of pure torsion to a long and thin cylindrical rod is known to provoke a twisting instability, evolving from an initial kink to a knot. In the torsional parallel-pl…
Morphology of residually-stressed tubular tissues: Beyond the elastic multiplicative decomposition
Pasquale Ciarletta, Michel Destrade, Artur L. Gower +1
Many interesting shapes appearing in the biological world are formed by the onset of mechanical instability. In this work we consider how the build-up of residual stress can cause…
