On Hyperelastic Crease
Siyuan Song, Mrityunjay Kothari, Kyung-Suk Kim
We present analyses of crease-formation and stability criteria for incompressible hyperelastic solids. A generic singular perturbation over a laterally compressed half-space create…
Biofilms as self-shaping growing nematics
Japinder Nijjer, Mrityunjay Kothari, Changhao Li +7
Active nematics are the nonequilibrium analog of passive liquid crystals in which anisotropic units consume free energy to drive emergent behavior. Similar to liquid crystal (LC) m…
The crucial role of elasticity in regulating liquid-liquid phase separation in cells
Mrityunjay Kothari, Tal Cohen
Liquid-liquid phase separation has emerged as a fundamental mechanism underlying intracellular organization, with evidence for it being reported in numerous different systems. Howe…
Nonlinear Inclusion Theory with Application to the Growth and Morphogenesis of a Confined Body
Jian Li, Mrityunjay Kothari, Chockalingam Senthilnathan +5
One of the most celebrated contributions to the study of the mechanical behavior of materials is due to J.D. Eshelby, who in the late 50s revolutionized our understanding of the el…
Controlled Propagation and Jamming of a Delamination Front
Mrityunjay Kothari, Zoë S. Lemon, Christine Roth +1
We study the birth and propagation of a delamination front in the peeling of a soft, weakly adhesive layer. In a controlled-displacement setting, the layer partially detaches via a…
Effect of Elasticity on Phase Separation in Heterogeneous Systems
Mrityunjay Kothari, Tal Cohen
A recent study has demonstrated that phase separation in binary liquid mixtures is arrested in the presence of elastic networks and can lead to a nearly uniformly-sized distributio…
