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…

Fluid Flow Induced Deformation of a Boundary Hair
Jonas P. Smucker, Zerrin M. Vural, José R. Alvarado +1
The deformation of a dense carpet of hair due to Stokes flow in a channel can be described by a nonlinear integro-differential equation for the shape of a single hair, which posses…
