Durotactic control within a 3D collagen matrix [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
INTRODUCTION: While matrix stiffness has been implicated in cell adhesion and migration, most studies have focused on the effects of substrate stiffness in 2D. This work describes a novel continuous stiffness gradient model for studying such processes in

Special transformations for pentamode acoustic cloaking

open access: yes, 2012
The acoustic cloaking theory of Norris (2008) permits considerable freedom in choosing the transformation function f from physical to virtual space. The standard process for defining cloak materials is to first define f and then evaluate whether the ...
