    • 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 ...

    • Modified multiplicative decomposition model for tissue growth: Beyond the initial stress-free state 

      Du, Yangkun; Lü, Chaofeng; Chen, Weiqiu; Destrade, Michel (Elsevier, 2018-05-19)
      The multiplicative decomposition model is widely employed for predicting residual stresses and morphologies of biological tissues due to growth. However, it relies on the assumption that the tissue is initially in a ...

    • Wrinkles and creases in the bending, unbending and eversion of soft sectors 

      Sigaeva, Taisiya; Mangan, Robert; Vergori, Luigi; Destrade, Michel; Sudak, Les (The Royal Society, 2018-03-23)
      We study what is clearly one of the most common modes of deformation found in nature, science and engineering, namely the large elastic bending of curved structures, as well as its inverse, unbending, which can be brought ...
