Soft Elasticity in Nematic Liquid-Crystal Networks
Simiso K. Mkhonta, Dan Vernon, K. R. Elder +1
Liquid-crystal networks consist of weakly crosslinked polymers that are coupled to liquid-crystal molecules. The resultant hybrid system has rich elastic properties. We develop a p…

Community-driven dispersal in an individual-based predator-prey model
Elise Filotas, Martin Grant, Lael Parrott +1
We present a spatial, individual-based predator-prey model in which dispersal is dependent on the local community. We determine species suitability to the biotic conditions of thei…

Solidification in a channel
Mohsen Sabouri-Ghomi, Nikolas Provatas, Martin Grant
We simulate solidification in a narrow channel through the use of a phase-field model with an adaptive grid. In different regimes, we find that the solid can grow in fingerlike ste…
