Topological characterization of the continuum of allosteric response
Jason W. Rocks, Eleni Katifori, Andrea J. Liu
Allosteric regulation in proteins is often accompanied by conformational changes that facilitate transmission of mechanical signals between distant ligand binding sites. Typically,…
Integrating local energetics into Maxwell-Calladine constraint counting to design mechanical metamaterials
Jason W. Rocks, Pankaj Mehta
The Maxwell-Calladine index theorem plays a central role in our current understanding of the mechanical rigidity of discrete materials. By considering the geometric constraints eac…
Correlation of plastic events with local structure in jammed packings across spatial dimensions
Sean A. Ridout, Jason W. Rocks, Andrea J. Liu
In jammed packings, it is usually thought that local structure only plays a significant role in specific regimes. The standard deviation of the relative excess coordination, $σ_Z/…
Supervised learning in physical networks: From machine learning to learning machines
Menachem Stern, Daniel Hexner, Jason W. Rocks +1
Materials and machines are often designed with particular goals in mind, so that they exhibit desired responses to given forces or constraints. Here we explore an alternative appro…
Learning-based approach to plasticity in athermal sheared amorphous packings: Improving softness
Jason W. Rocks, Sean A. Ridout, Andrea J. Liu
The plasticity of amorphous solids undergoing shear is characterized by quasi-localized rearrangements of particles. While many models of plasticity exist, the precise relationship…
The hidden topological structure of flow network functionality
Jason W. Rocks, Andrea J. Liu, Eleni Katifori
The ability to reroute and control flow is vital to the function of venation networks across a wide range of organisms. By modifying individual edges in these networks, either by a…
