Tissue homeostasis, the biological process of maintaining a steady state in tissue via control of cell proliferation and death, is essential for the development, growth, maintenance, and proper function of living organisms. Disruptions to t...

In materials that undergo martensitic phase transformation, macroscopic loading often leads to the creation and/or rearrangement of elastic domains. This paper considers an example involving a single-crystal slab made from two martensite va...

We present a theory of deformation of ribbons made of nematic polymer networks (NPNs). These materials exhibit properties of rubber and nematic liquid crystals, and can be activated by external stimuli of heat and light. A two-dimensional e...

The lung is the main organ of the respiratory system. Its purpose is to facilitate gas exchange (breathing). Mechanically, breathing may be described as the cyclic application of stresses acting upon the lung surface. These forces are offse...
