Motility induced fracture reveals a ductile to brittle crossover in the epithelial tissues of a simple animal
2019-06-19
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Animals are characterized by their movement, and their tissues are continuously subjected to dynamic force loading while they crawl, walk, run or swim 1 . Tissue mechanics fundamentally determine the ecological niches that can be endured by a living organism 2 . While epithelial tissues provide an important barrier function in animals, they are subjected to extreme strains during day to day ph...
