    • Erosion probability for biofilm modeling: analysis of trends 

      Laspidou, C. S. (2014)
      This study presents the strengths and weaknesses of a biofilm erosion probability algorithm that can be used in cellular automaton and individual-based biofilm simulation models. The erosion probability is calculated using ...

    • Finite element modelling to expand the UMCCA model to describe biofilm mechanical behavior 

      Laspidou, C. S.; Rittmann, B. E.; Karamanos, S. A. (2005)
      In order to understand the influence of biofilm's physical and microbiological structures on its mechanical behavior, a finite element model that describes the structural mechanics of a composite solid is linked to the ...

    • Material modeling of biofilm mechanical properties 

      Laspidou, C. S.; Spyrou, L. A.; Aravas, N.; Rittmann, B. E. (2014)
      A biofilm material model and a procedure for numerical integration are developed in this article. They enable calculation of a composite Young's modulus that varies in the biofilm and evolves with deformation. The ...
