Semi-soft Nematic Elastomers and Nematics in Crossed Electric and Magnetic Fields
Fangfu Ye, Ranjan Mukhopadhyay, Olaf Stenull +1
Nematic elastomers with a locked-in anisotropy direction exhibit semi-soft elastic response characterized by a plateau in the stress-strain curve in which stress does not change wi…
Flexibility of beta-sheets: Principal-component analysis of database protein structures
Eldon G. Emberly, Ranjan Mukhopadhyay, Chao Tang +1
Protein folds are built primarily from the packing together of two types of structures: alpha-helices and beta-sheets. Neither structure is rigid, and the flexibility of helices an…
Fluctuating Nematic Elastomer Membranes: a New Universality Class
Xiangjun Xing, Ranjan Mukhopadhyay, T. C. Lubensky +1
We study the flat phase of nematic elastomer membranes with rotational symmetry spontaneously broken by in-plane nematic order. Such state is characterized by a vanishing elastic m…
