Rheological models for tissue relaxation and fluidisation

Asadipour, Nina (Date of defense: 2016-03-04)

We present a cell-centred model for the simulation of multicellular soft tissues that takes into account the underlying active process at the cytoskeletal level, and allows for active and passive cell-cell reorganisation ...

The variational approach to brittle fracture in materials with anisotropic surface energy and in thin sheets

Li, Bin (Date of defense: 2016-03-08)

Fracture mechanics of brittle materials has focused on bulk materials with isotropic surface energy. In this situation different physical principles for crack path selection are very similar or even equivalent. The situation ...
