Transition to chaos with conical billiards
Lara Braverman, David R. Nelson
We adapt ideas from geometrical optics and classical billiard dynamics to consider particle trajectories with constant velocity on a cone with specular reflections off an elliptica…
Self-healing (solitonic) slip pulses in frictional systems
Anna Pomyalov, Yuri Lubomirsky, Lara Braverman +2
A prominent spatiotemporal failure mode of frictional systems is self-healing slip pulses, which are propagating solitonic structures that feature a characteristic length. Here, we…
Topological defects in solids with odd elasticity
Lara Braverman, Colin Scheibner, Bryan VanSaders +1
Crystallography typically studies collections of point particles whose interaction forces are the gradient of a potential. Lifting this assumption generically gives rise in the con…
Chiral motion in colloidal electrophoresis
Lara Braverman, Aaron Mowitz, Thomas A. Witten
Asymmetrically charged, nonspherical colloidal particles in general perform complex rotations and oblique motions under an electric field. The interplay of electrostatic and hydrod…
