Slender Origami with Complex 3D Folding Shapes
Soroush Kamrava, Ranajay Ghosh, Yu Yang +1
One-dimensional slender bodies can be deformed or shaped into spatially complex curves relatively easily due to their inherent compliance. However, traditional methods of fabricati…
Origami-inspired Cellular Metamaterial with Anisotropic Multi-stability
Soroush Kamrava, Ranajay Ghosh, Zhihao Wang +1
Origami designs offer extreme reconfigurability due to hinge rotation and facet deformation. This can be exploited to make lightweight metamaterials with controlled deployability a…
Abiotic streamers in a microfluidic system
Nandini Debnath, Mahtab Hassanpourfard, Ranajay Ghosh +3
In this work, we report the phenomenon of formation of particle aggregates in the form of thin slender strings when a polyacrylamide (PAM) solution, laden with polystyrene (PS) par…
Frictional Effects in Biomimetic Scales Engagement
Ranajay Ghosh, Hamid Ebrahimi, Ashkan Vaziri
Scales engagement can contribute significantly to nonlinear bending behavior of elastic substrates with rigid biomimetic scales. In this letter, we investigate the role of friction…
Bacterial floc mediated rapid streamer formation in creeping flows
Mahtab Hassanpourfard, Zahra Nikakhtari, Ranajay Ghosh +4
One of the central puzzles concerning the interaction of low Reynolds number (Re<<1) fluid transport with bacterial biomass is the formation of filamentous structures called stream…
Type-IV Pilus Deformation Can Explain Retraction Behavior
Ranajay Ghosh, Aloke Kumar, Ashkan Vaziri
Polymeric filament like type IV Pilus (TFP) can transfer forces in excess of 100pN during their retraction before stalling, powering surface translocation(twitching). Single TFP le…
