Motor force homeostasis in skeletal muscle contraction.
Bin Chen,Huajian Gao +1 more
TL;DR: This study suggests that it might be a general principle to use catch bonds together with a force-stretch relation similar to that of myosin motors to regulate force homeostasis in many biological processes.
Recoverable creep deformation and transient local stress concentration due to heterogeneous grain-boundary diffusion and sliding in polycrystalline solids
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of heterogeneity in grain-boundary diffusivity and sliding resistance on the creep response of a polycrystal is investigated, and it is shown that under transient conditions, flux divergences develop at the intersection between grain boundaries with fast and slow diffusion, which generate high local stress concentrations.
Dynamic behaviors of mode III interfacial crack under a constant loading rate
Shaohua Chen,Huajian Gao +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the behavior of a mode III crack moving along a bi-material interface subject to a constant loading rate and showed that the crack initiates its motion at a critical time governed by the Griffith criterion.
A boundary perturbation analysis for elastic inclusions and interfaces
TL;DR: In this article, a first-order boundary perturbation method based on Muskhelishvilli's complex variable representations is formulated for the two-dimensional elasticity problem of a nearly-circular inclusion embedded in an infinite dissimilar material.
An electromechanical liquid crystal model of vesicles
TL;DR: In this paper, an electromechanical liquid crystal model is developed for characterizing the equilibrium morphology of a lipid vesicle under coupled mechanical and electrical fields, which incorporates the effects of elastic bending, osmotic pressure, surface tension, Maxwell pressure, as well as flexoelectric and dielectric properties of the lipid membrane.
