Simulation of Defects, Flexibility and Rupture in Biopolymer Networks [PDF]

, 2021
Networks of biopolymers occur often in nature, and are vulnerable to damage over time. In this work, a coarse grained model of collagen IV molecules is applied in a 2D hexagonal network and the mechanisms by which these networks can rupture are explored.
