The shapes of physical trefoil knots
Paul Johanns, Paul Grandgeorge, Changyeob Baek +3
We perform a compare-and-contrast investigation between the equilibrium shapes of physical and ideal trefoil knots, both in closed and open configurations. Ideal knots are purely g…
Technical Brief: Finite Element Modeling of Tight Elastic Knots
Changyeob Baek, Paul Johanns, Tomohiko G. Sano +2
We present a methodology to simulate the mechanics of knots in elastic rods using geometrically nonlinear, full three-dimensional (3D) finite element analysis. We focus on the mech…
Mechanics of two filaments in tight contact: The orthogonal clasp
Paul Grandgeorge, Changyeob Baek, Harmeet Singh +5
Networks of flexible filaments often involve regions of tight contact. Predictively understanding the equilibrium configurations of these systems is challenging due to intricate co…
Characterization of vertically aligned carbon nanotube forests grown on stainless steel surfaces
Eleftheria Roumeli, Marianna Diamantopoulou, Marc Serra-Garcia +3
Vertically aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) forests are a particularly interesting class of nanomaterials, because they combine multifunctional properties, such as high energy absorpt…
