Mechanochemical Topological Defects in an Active Nematic
Michael M. Norton, Piyush Grover
We propose a reaction-diffusion system that converts topological information of an active nematic into chemical signals. We show that a curvature-activated reaction dipole is suffi…

Phase space analysis of nonlinear wave propagation in a bistable mechanical metamaterial with a defect
Mohammed A. Mohammed, Piyush Grover
We study the dynamics of solitary waves traveling in a one-dimensional chain of bistable elements in the presence of a local inhomogeneity (defect). Numerical simulations reveal th…
