Stress in a polymer brush
M. Manav, M. Ponga, A. Srikantha Phani
We study the stress distribution in a polymer brush material over a range of graft densities using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and theory. Flexible polymer chains are treat…

Mechanics of polymer brush based soft active materials -- theory and experiments
M. Manav, P. Anilkumar, A. Srikantha Phani
Brush-like structures emerge from stretching of long polymer chains, densely grafted on to the surface of an impermeable substrate. They arise due to the competition between confor…

Mode localization and sensitivity in weakly coupled resonators
M. Manav, A. S. Phani, E. Cretu
Localization of normal modes is used in recent microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technologies with orders of magnitude improvements in sensitivity. A pair of eigenvalues veer,…
