Discontinuous transition to loop formation in optimal supply networks
Franz Kaiser, Henrik Ronellenfitsch, Dirk Witthaut
The structure and design of optimal supply networks is an important topic in complex networks research. A fundamental trait of natural and man-made networks is the emergence of loo…
Optimal elasticity of biological networks
Henrik Ronellenfitsch
Reinforced elastic sheets surround us in daily life, from concrete shell buildings to biological structures such as the arthropod exoskeleton or the venation network of dicotyledon…
Spectral Design of Active Mechanical and Electrical Metamaterials
Henrik Ronellenfitsch, Jörn Dunkel
Active matter is ubiquitous in biology and becomes increasingly more important in materials science. While numerous active systems have been investigated in detail both experimenta…
Chiral topological phases in designed mechanical networks
Henrik Ronellenfitsch, Jörn Dunkel
Mass-spring networks (MSNs) have long been used as approximate descriptions of many biological and engineered systems, from actomyosin networks to mechanical trusses. In the last d…
Non-Local Impact of Link Failures in Linear Flow Networks
Julius Strake, Franz Kaiser, Farnaz Basiri +2
The failure of a single link can degrade the operation of a supply network up to the point of complete collapse. Yet, the interplay between network topology and locality of the res…
Autonomous actuation of zero modes in mechanical networks far from equilibrium
Francis G. Woodhouse, Henrik Ronellenfitsch, Jörn Dunkel
A zero mode, or floppy mode, is a non-trivial coupling of mechanical components yielding a degree of freedom with no resistance to deformation. Engineered zero modes have the poten…
