A micromechanical approach to the behaviour of single wood fibers and wood fracture at cellular level

Mechanical and fracture behaviors of wood are defined by the morphology and mechanical properties of wood fibers and their bonding medium. Parallel orientation of wood fibers makes them the most influential microstructural elements from the mechanical poin ...

Culture analysis and external interaction models of Mycelial growth

Thomas Liebling

To investigate morphogenesis and in particular circularization mechanisms in young mycelia, we observe cultures of the zygomycete Mucor spinosus and develop discrete models of two-dimensional filamental branching growth. The models are based on the hypothe ...
