In this work, the phase-field approach to fracture is extended to model fatigue failure in high- and low-cycle regime. The fracture energy degradation due to the repeated externally applied loads is introduced as a function ...

Biological tissues adapt to changed loading conditions through growth and remodelling (G&R) to reestablish a so-called homeostatic state. On the other hand, loading conditions above their physiological limits, as during ...

This paper deals with the mathematical modeling of bacterial co-aggregation and its numerical implementation in a FEM framework. Since the concept of co-aggregation refers to the physical binding between cells of different ...
