Surfing, sweeping, and assembly of particles by a moving liquid crystal phase boundary
Tom Shneer, Jocelyn Ochoa, Alauna C. Wheeler +5
Non-equilibrium transport of particles embedded in a liquid crystal host can, by cooling through a phase transition, be exploited to create a remarkable variety of structures inclu…
From Disks to Channels: Dynamics of Active Nematics Confined to an Annulus
Chaitanya Joshi, Zahra Zarei, Michael M. Norton +3
Confinement can be used to systematically tame turbulent dynamics occurring in active fluids. Although periodic channels are the simplest geometries to study confinement numericall…
Effect of confinement on the mechanics of a swelling hydrogel bead
Chaitanya Joshi, Mathew Q. Giso, Jean-François Louf +2
We recast the problem of hydrogel swelling under physical constraints as an energy optimization problem. We apply this approach to compute equilibrium shapes of hydrogel spheres co…
Morpho -- A programmable environment for shape optimization and shapeshifting problems
Chaitanya Joshi, Daniel Goldstein, Cole Wennerholm +6
An emerging theme across many domains of science and engineering is materials that change shape, often dramatically. Determining their structure involves solving a shape optimizati…
