Multiscale thermodynamics and mechanics of heat.
Heat transfer is investigated on three levels of description: Fourier, Cattaneo, and Peierls. The microscopic nature of the heat that becomes important, in particular in nanoscale systems, is characterized by a vector field related to the heat flux on the Cattaneo level and by the phonon distribution function on the Peierls level. All dynamical theories discussed in the paper are fully nonlinea...
متن کاملMultiscale Mechanics and Optimization of Gastropod Shells
A vast majority of mollusks grow a hard shell for protection. The structure of these shells comprises several levels of hierarchy that increase their strength and their resistance to natural threats. This article focuses on nacreous shells, which are composed of two distinct layers. The outer layer is made of calcite, which is a hard but brittle material, and the inner layer is made of nacre, a...
متن کاملMultiscale mechanics of hierarchical structure/property relationships in calcified tissues and tissue/material interfaces.
This paper presents a review plus new data that describes the role hierarchical nanostructural properties play in developing an understanding of the effect of scale on the material properties (chemical, elastic and electrical) of calcified tissues as well as the interfaces that form between such tissues and biomaterials. Both nanostructural and microstructural properties will be considered star...
متن کاملTissue mechanics.
The human body, from an engineering point of view, is a load-transmitting mechanism. It is subjected to self-originated and/or environmentally-imposed actions (Abrahams 1965, Paul 1967). These in turn manifest themselves in actions on tissue, and the tissue’s capability to withstand and transmit the corresponding loads through deforming appropriately can be characterized in health and disease. ...
متن کاملMechanics of tissue compaction.
During embryonic development, tissues deform by a succession and combination of morphogenetic processes. Tissue compaction is the morphogenetic process by which a tissue adopts a tighter structure. Recent studies characterized the respective roles of cells' adhesive and contractile properties in tissue compaction. In this review, we formalize the mechanical and molecular principles of tissue co...
