非线性弹性介质响应的标度律及其对细胞力学的影响

Scaling laws for the response of nonlinear elastic media with implications for cell mechanics

Yair Shokef, Samuel A. Safran

摘要:

我们展示了应变硬化如何影响对内力的弹性响应,这些内力是由材料缺陷和不均匀性或由活细胞中产生的分子马达的主动力引起的。对于具有强非线性应变能量密度的材料中的球形力偶极子,应变随距离改变符号,表明即使在可收缩的夹杂物或分子马达周围也存在径向压缩;只有在长距离处,才能恢复线性响应,其中介质径向拉伸。具有无理指数的标度律将远场重整化应变与由夹杂物或主动力施加的近场应变相关联。

英文摘要:

We show how strain stiffening affects the elastic response to internal forces, caused either by material defects and inhomogeneities or by active forces that molecular motors generate in living cells. For a spherical force dipole in a material with a strongly nonlinear strain energy density, strains change sign with distance, indicating that even around a contractile inclusion or molecular motor there is radial compression; it is only at long distance that one recovers the linear response in which the medium is radially stretched. Scaling laws with irrational exponents relate the far-field renormalized strain to the near-field strain applied by the inclusion or active force.
