...Abhilash Awasthi; Rajneesh Sharma; Rajesh Ghosh A multiscale model for mineralized collagen fibril (MCF) is proposed by taking into account the uncertainties associated with the geometrical properties of the mineral phase and its distribution in the organic matrix. The asymptotic homogenization...

... structure. Such a formulation accounting for the inhomogeneity of the cytoplasm due to stress fibers and actin cortex is developed in this work. The proposed model is developed using the Mori-Tanaka method of homogenization by treating the cell as a fiber-reinforced composite medium satisfying the continuum...
