Elastoinertial effects govern dynamic response of soft hair beds
Jonas Smucker, Naiesa Freeman, Eric Caballero +2
Fluid-immersed hair beds are ubiquitous in biology-from the endothelial glycocalyx and primary cilia to intestinal microvilli-where they serve as mechanosensors that transduce dyna…

Nonlinear response of soft hair beds to Poiseuille flows
Mani Sai Suryateja Jammalamadaka, Jonas Smucker, Jose R Alvarado
Biological surfaces with micrometer-scale protrusions, such as microvilli, crustacean hairs, and cilia, often interact with pressure-driven fluid flow, resulting in a two-way elast…

Dynamic Sealing Using Magneto-Rheological Fluids
Youzhi Liang, Jose R. Alvarado, Karl D. Iagnemma +1
Micropumps are microfluidic components which are widely used in applications such as chemical analysis, biological sensing and micro-robots. However, one obstacle in developing mic…
