Criticality and isostaticity in fibre networks
Open accessAbstract
In fibre networks, mechanical stability relies on the fibres’ bending resistance—in contrast to rubbers, where entropic stretching is the key. The extent to which the mechanics of fibre networks is controlled by bending is, however, an open question. The study of a general lattice-based model of fibrous networks now reveals two rigidity critical points, one of which controls a rich crossover from stretching-dominated to bending-dominated behaviour.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
