Hydrodynamic density functional theory (DFT) is applied to analyse dynamic contact angles of droplets in order to assess its predictive capability regarding wetting phenomena at the microscopic scale and to evaluate its feasibility for…
Cell-cell adhesion plays a vital role in the development and maintenance of multicellular organisms. One of its functions is regulation of cell migration, such as occurs, e.g. during embryogenesis or in cancer. In this work, we develop a…
Mechanical properties of biological samples have been imaged with a \textit{Force Feedback Microscope}. Force, force gradient and dissipation are measured simultaneously and quantitatively, merely knowing the AFM cantilever spring constant.…
In recent years, interfacial fracture becomes one of the most important problems in the assessment of reliability of electronics packaging. Especially, underfill resin is used with solder joints in flip chip packaging for preventing the…
The paper addresses the problem of a Mode III interfacial crack advancing quasi-statically in a heterogeneous composite material, that is a two-phase material containing elastic inclusions, both soft and stiff, and defects, such as…
The complexity of binary droplet collisions increases for the collision of immiscible liquids with the occurrence of triple lines and thin encapsulating films. The Volume of Fluid (VOF) method is extended with an efficient interface…
We determine the time dependence of pressure and shear stress distributions on the surface of a pitching and deforming hydrofoil from measurements of the three dimensional flow field. Period-averaged stress maps are obtained both in the…
Understanding and harnessing the coupling between lubrication pressure and elasticity provides materials design strategies for applications such as adhesives, coatings, microsensors, and biomaterials. Elastic deformation of compliant solids…
Studying the dynamics of small-scale beams with attached particles is crucial for sensing applications in various fields, such as bioscience, material science, energy storage devices, and environmental monitoring. Here, a stress-driven…
This work presents a novel global digital image correlation (DIC) method, based on a newly developed convolution finite element (C-FE) approximation. The convolution approximation can rely on the mesh of linear finite elements and enables…
Fiber reinforcement is a crucial attribute of soft bodied muscular hydrostats that have the ability to undergo large deformations and maintain their posture. Helically wound fibers around the cylindrical worm body help control the tube…
Adhesion-dependent cells actively sense the mechanical properties of their environment through mechanotransductory processes at focal adhesions, which are integrin-based contacts connecting the extracellular matrix to the cytoskeleton. Here…
An approach to the mechanical behaviour of textile composites at the scale of their constituting fibres, using an implicit finite element simulation code, is proposed in this chapter. The approach is based on efficient methods and…
Protein rotational kinetics are essential for understanding macromolecular behavior in crowded environments, yet measuring these dynamics at solid-liquid interfaces remains a significant challenge due to low signal strengths. Here, we…
Understanding contact line dynamics on superhydrophobic surfaces with microscopic structures is essential for designing materials with reduced drag, anti-icing, self-cleaning, and anti-fouling properties. Using numerical simulations, we…
In many practical fluid dynamics experiments, measuring variables such as velocity and pressure is possible only at a limited number of sensor locations, \textcolor{black}{for a few two-dimensional planes, or for a small 3D domain in the…
The importance of force perception in interacting with the environment was proven years ago. However, it is still a challenge to measure the contact force distribution accurately in real-time. In order to break through this predicament, we…
The tractions that cells exert on a gel substrate from the observed displacements is an increasingly attractive and valuable information in biomedical experiments. The computation of these tractions requires in general the solution of an…
We develop and present a unified multi-scale model (involving three scales of spatial organisation) to study the dynamics of rigid aggregating particles suspended in a viscous fluid medium and subject to a steady poiseuille flow. At…
Integrative biomolecular modeling of RNA relies on structural refined collections and accurate experimental data that reflect binding and folding behavior. However, the prediction of such collections remains challenging due to the rugged…
