On stretching, bending, shearing and twisting of actin filaments I: variational models

Mechanochemical simulations of actomyosin networks are traditionally based on one-dimensional models of actin filaments having zero width. Here, and in the follow up paper (arXiv, DOI 10.48550/arXiv.2203.01284), approaches are presented for more efficient modeling that incorporates stretching, shear...
