Geometrically-induced localization of flexural waves on thin warped physical membranes
Jonathan Kernes, Alex J. Levine
We consider the propagation of flexural waves across a nearly flat, thin membrane, whose stress-free state is curved. The stress-free configuration is specified by a quenched heigh…
Directed force propagation in semiflexible networks
Maximilian J. Grill, Jonathan Kernes, Valentin M. Slepukhin +2
We consider the propagation of tension along specific filament of a semiflexible filament network in response to the application of a point force using a combination of numerical s…
Dynamics of undulatory fluctuations of semiflexible filaments in a network
Jonathan Kernes, Alex J. Levine
We study the dynamics of a single semiflexible filament coupled to a Hookean spring at its boundary. The spring produces a fluctuating tensile force on the filament, whose value de…
The equilibrium fluctuations of a semiflexible filament cross linked into a network
Jonathan Kernes, Alex J. Levine
We examine the equilibrium fluctuation spectrum of a constituent semiflexible filament segment in a network. The effect of this cross linking is to modify the mechanical boundary c…
