The objective is to investigate the #mechanics of fibrous #tissue, and specifically the #cell-driven short time active response, based on kinetic models of statistical #physics, and in connection with experiments where suspended microtissues are subjected to large strain.

I'm wondering: #physics makes a lot of use of #periodic functions, in particular it is very useful to solve space-dependent equations in representative volumes with #periodicBoundaryConditions.
However I've only seen it done with periodicity along orthogonal directions, aligned with a Cartesian frame.
Do you know of work, e.g. #PDE resolution, in nonrectangular #periodicDomains? E.g., in a #tiled hexagon? (but with a sufficiently generic setting, not exploiting regular hexagon symmetries) Even better if the periodicity parameters themselves are among the unknowns.
(Maybe I'm completely missing something obvious there, I'm in my first steps towards defining what I want - any random thought on the topic highly welcome!)
