Microscopic Theory of Linear Response in Amorphous Materials
… networks. In order to give an insight on nonaffinity, I compute static elastic constants of α-quartz, taking into account the long-range Coulomb interaction. The nonaffine (softening) correction is found very large, such that the overall elastic constants are at least 3-4 times smaller …

Effect of composite elements on the mechanics of biopolymer networks
Networks of stiff biopolymers, such as collagen type I, are abundant in the human body and provide structural integrity to the skin and internal organs. These networks are known to exhibit mechanical properties that differ significantly from those of synthetic polymers, making them a subject of …
