Cooperative contractility: the role of stress fibres in the regulation of cell-cell junctions
(Elsevier, 2014-11-27)
We present simulations of cell-cell adhesion as reported in a recent study [Liu et al., 2010, PNAS, 107(22), 9944-9] for two cells seeded on an array of micro-posts. The micro-post array allows for the measurement of forces ...
On the role of the actin cytoskeleton and nucleus in the biomechanical response of spread cells
(Elsevier, 2014-02-11)
Micropipette aspiration (MA) has been used extensively in biomechanical investigations of un-adhered cells suspended in media. In the current study, a custom MA system is developed to aspirate substrate adhered spread ...
Evaluation of a multiscale modelling methodology to predict the mechanical properties of PCL/β-TCP sintered scaffold materials
(Springer Verlag, 2014-12-02)
A multiscale modelling methodology to predict the macroscale stiffness of selective laser sintered polycaprolactone (PCL)/β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) materials is evaluated. The relationship between a micromechanics-evaluated ...
A unified viscoplastic model for high temperature low cycle fatigue of service-aged P91 steel
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2014-01-07)
The finite element (FE) implementation of a hyperbolic sine unified cyclic viscoplasticity model is presented. The hyperbolic sine flow rule facilitates the identification of strain-rate independent material parameters for ...
