Substrate Stress Relaxation Regulates Cell‐Mediated Assembly of Extracellular Matrix
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Silicone‐based viscoelastic substrates with tunable stress relaxation reveal how matrix mechanics regulates cellular mechanosensing and cell‐mediated matrix remodelling in the stiff regime. High stress relaxation promotes assembly of fibronectin fibril‐like structures, increased nuclear localization of YAP and formation of β1 integrin‐enriched ...

Reconstruction of a fracture process zone during tensile failure of quasi-brittle materials
Applied and Computational Mechanics, 2010 The paper outlines a technique for estimation of the size and shape of an inelastic zone evolving around a crack tip during the tensile failure of structures/structural members made of quasi-brittle building materials, particularly cementitious ...

Mode I crack tip fields: strain gradient plasticity theory versus J2 flow theory
, 2019 The mode I crack tip asymptotic response of a solid characterised by strain gradient plasticity is investigated. It is found that elastic strains dominate plastic strains near the crack tip, and thus the Cauchy stress and the strain state are given ...
