Geometry and design of popup structures
Jay Jayeshbhai Chavda, S Ganga Prasath
Origami and Kirigami, the famous Japanese art forms of paper folding and cutting, have inspired the design of novel materials & structures utilizing their geometry. In this article…
Morphing of and writing with a scissor linkage mechanism
Mohanraj A, S Ganga Prasath
Kinematics of mechanisms is intricately coupled to their geometry and their utility often arises out of the ability to perform reproducible motion with fewer actuating degrees of f…
Collective phototactic robotectonics
Fabio Giardina, S Ganga Prasath, L Mahadevan
Cooperative task execution, a hallmark of eusociality, is enabled by local interactions between the agents and the environment through a dynamically evolving communication signal.…
: Collective behavior mediated by active flow-based recruitment
S Ganga Prasath, L Mahadevan
The physics of signal propagation in a collection of organisms that communicate with each other both enables and limits how active excitations at the individual level reach, recrui…
Effect of external tension on the wetting of an elastic sheet
Gregory Kozyreff, Benny Davidovitch, S. Ganga Prasath +2
Recent studies of elasto-capillary phenomena have triggered interest in a basic variant of the classical Young-Laplace-Dupré (YLD) problem: The capillary interaction between a liqu…
Shapes of a filament on the surface of a bubble
S Ganga Prasath, Joel Marthelot, Rama Govindarajan +1
The shape assumed by a slender elastic structure is a function both of the geometry of the space in which it exists and the forces it experiences. We explore by experiments and the…
Wetting and wrapping of a floating droplet by a thin elastic filament
S Ganga Prasath, Joel Marthelot, Narayanan Menon +1
We study the wetting of a thin elastic filament floating on a fluid surface by a droplet of another, immiscible fluid. This quasi-2D experimental system is the lower-dimensional co…
Optimal policies for mitigating pandemic costs
M. Serra, S. al-Mosleh, S. Ganga Prasath +5
Several non-pharmaceutical interventions have been proposed to control the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. On the large scale, these empirical solutions, often associated with ext…
