Elastica: A compliant mechanics environment for soft robotic control
Noel Naughton, Jiarui Sun, Arman Tekinalp +2
Soft robots are notoriously hard to control. This is partly due to the scarcity of models able to capture their complex continuum mechanics, resulting in a lack of control methodol…

Shape curvature effects in viscous streaming
Yashraj Bhosale, Tejaswin Parthasarathy, Mattia Gazzola
Viscous streaming flows generated by objects of constant curvature (circular cylinders, infinite plates) have been well understood. Yet, characterization and understanding of such…

Streaming enhanced flow-mediated transport
Tejaswin Parthasarathy, Fan Kiat Chan, Mattia Gazzola
We investigate the capability of an active body (master) to manipulate a passive object (slave) purely via contactless flow-mediated mechanisms, motivated by potential applications…
