    • Electro-mechanically guided growth and patterns 

      Du, Yangkun; Su, Yipin; Lü, Chaofeng; Chen, Weiqiu; Destrade, Michel (Elsevier, 2020-07-01)
      Several experiments have demonstrated the existence of an electro-mechanical effect in many biological tissues and hydrogels, and its actual influence on growth, migration, and pattern formation. Here, to model these ...
    • Prescribing patterns in growing tubular soft matter by initial residual stress 

      Du, Yangkun; Lü, Chaofeng; Liu, Congshan; Han, Zilong; Li, Jian; Chen, Weiqiu; Qu, Shaoxing; Destrade, Michel (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019-10-02)
      Initial residual stress is omnipresent in biological tissues and soft matter, and can affect growth-induced pattern selection significantly. Here we demonstrate this effect experimentally by letting soft tubes grow in the ...
