Micromechanical origin of plasticity and hysteresis in nest-like packings
Yashraj Bhosale, Nicholas Weiner, Alex Butler +3
Disordered packings of unbonded, semiflexible fibers represent a class of materials spanning contexts and scales. From twig-based bird nests to unwoven textiles, bulk mechanics of…
Multi-curvature viscous streaming: flow topology and particle manipulation
Yashraj Bhosale, Giridar Vishwanathan, Tejaswin Parthasarathy +2
Viscous streaming refers to the rectified, steady flows that emerge when a liquid oscillates around an immersed microfeature, typically a solid body or a bubble. The ability of suc…
Control-oriented Modeling of Bend Propagation in an Octopus Arm
Tixian Wang, Udit Halder, Ekaterina Gribkova +2
Bend propagation in an octopus arm refers to a stereotypical maneuver whereby an octopus pushes a bend (localized region of large curvature) from the base to the tip of the arm. Be…
A physics-informed, vision-based method to reconstruct all deformation modes in slender bodies
Seung Hyun Kim, Heng-Sheng Chang, Chia-Hsien Shih +5
This paper is concerned with the problem of estimating (interpolating and smoothing) the shape (pose and the six modes of deformation) of a slender flexible body from multiple came…
Friction modulation in limbless, three-dimensional gaits and heterogeneous terrains
Xiaotian Zhang, Noel Naughton, Tejaswin Parthasarathy +1
Motivated by a possible convergence of terrestrial limbless locomotion strategies ultimately determined by interfacial effects, we show how both 3D gait alterations and locomotory…
Three-dimensional geometry and topology effects in viscous streaming
Fan Kiat Chan, Yashraj Bhosale, Tejaswin Parthasarathy +1
Recent studies on viscous streaming flows in two dimensions have elucidated the impact of body curvature variations on resulting flow topology and dynamics, with opportunities for…
An unrecognized force in inertial microfluidics
Siddhansh Agarwal, Fan Kiat Chan, Mattia Gazzola +1
Describing effects of small but finite inertia on suspended particles is a fundamental fluid dynamical problem that has never been solved in full generality. Modern microfluidics h…
