Fibre networks are ubiquitous structures in biological tissues, both at the macroscopic level being the main ingredient in soft tissues and at the microscopic level, as constituents of collagen structures or the cytoskeleton. The goal of this work is to propose a model based on the physical microstructure of fibre networks in order to provide an understanding of the mechanical behaviour of biological fibre networks. The current model starts from fibres sliding with respect to one another and interacting via spring-like cross-bridges. These cross-bridges can attach and detach stochastically with a load-dependent detachment rate. Compared to existing modelling approaches, this work features a dynamic sliding configuration for the interacting ...
