Abstract: Disordered spring networks are a useful paradigm to examine macroscopic mechanical properties of amorphous materials. Here, we study the elastic behavior of under-constrained spring networks, i.e. networks with more degrees of freedom than springs. While… read more here.

Abstract: Marginally stable systems exhibit rich critical mechanical behavior. Such isostatic assemblies can be actively driven, but it is unclear how their critical nature affects their nonequilibrium dynamics. Here, we study the influence of isostaticity on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.120.068001
Abstract: Filamentous polymer networks govern the mechanical properties of many biological materials. Force distributions within these networks are typically highly inhomogeneous, and, although the importance of force distributions for structural properties is well recognized, they are… read more here.
