A Modular Modeling Approach for Investigating Wool Critical Buckling from Biologically Variable Along-Fiber Microstructure

This study explores torsional measurements of single hair fibers to differentiate the effects of cosmetic treatments on hair structure, highlighting their potential to reveal shear stiffness changes related to cuticle damage.

This research explores the use of serial block-face scanning electron microscopy to model the complex architecture of sheep wool fibres, focusing on the role and distribution of para- and ortho-cortical cells in determining wool curliness, though the mechanism remains unclear.

This study developed a multiscale model to understand human hair fiber mechanics and found that the yield stress decreases linearly with temperature, supported by both simulations and experimental stretching of hair fibers.

This study's simulations suggest that biomechanical factors, like follicle geometry and tissue stiffness, are likely significant in hair fiber protrusion, providing a framework for future experimental validation.
