 abstract = {Inspired by experiments on dynamic extensile gels of biofilaments and
motors, we propose a model of a network of linear springs with kinetics
consisting of growth at a prescribed rate, death after a lifetime drawn
from a distribution, and birth at a randomly chosen node. The model
captures features such as the build-up of self-stress, that are not
easily incorporated into hydrodynamic theories. We study the model
numerically and show that our observations can largely be understood
through a stochastic effective-medium model. The resulting dynamically
extending force-dipole network displays many features of yielded plastic
solids, and offers a way to incorporate strongly non-affine effects into
theories of active solids. A rather distinctive form for the stress
distribution, and a Herschel-Bulkley dependence of stress on activity,
are our major predictions.},
