Stiffening Thermal Membranes by Cutting
Emily Russell, Rastko Sknepnek, Mark J. Bowick
Two-dimensional crystalline membranes have recently been realized experimentally in such systems as graphene and molybdenum disulfide, sparking a resurgence in interest in their st…
Elastic interactions between 2D geometric defects
Michael Moshe, Eran Sharon, Raz Kupferman
In this paper, we introduce a methodology applicable to a wide range of localized two-dimensional sources of stress. This methodology is based on a geometric formulation of elastic…
Minimal model of active colloids highlights the role of mechanical interactions in controlling the emergent behavior of active matter
M. Cristina Marchetti, Yaouen Fily, Silke Henkes +2
Minimal models of active Brownian colloids consisting of self-propelled spherical particles with purely repulsive interactions have recently been identified as excellent quantitati…
Shear-induced rigidity of frictional particles: Analysis of emergent order in stress space
Sumantra Sarkar, Dapeng Bi, Jie Zhang +3
Solids are distinguished from fluids by their ability to resist shear. In traditional solids, the resistance to shear is associated with the emergence of broken translational symme…
Rigid cluster decomposition reveals criticality in frictional jamming
Silke Henkes, David A. Quint, Y. Fily +1
We study the nature of the frictional jamming transition within the framework of rigidity percolation theory. Slowly sheared frictional packings are decomposed into rigid clusters…
Planar and curved droplet networks
Duanduan Wan, Mark J. Bowick
We study how a two-dimensional square sheet of droplets evolves to the preferred triangular lattice. The rearrangement can be induced either by an impurity seed for flat sheets or…
