Hierarchical biomechanics: concepts, bone as prominent example, and perspectives beyond
C Hellmich, N Ukaj, B Smeets… - Applied …, 2022 - asmedigitalcollection.asme.org
The main motivation for “hierarchical biomechanics” is that the wide variability of mechanical
properties encountered at the macroscopic scale may be traced back to just a few …

Power-law creep and residual stresses in a carbopol gel
We report on the interplay between creep and residual stresses in a carbopol microgel.
When a constant shear stress σ is applied below the yield stress σ y, the strain is shown to …
