Finite-temperature avalanches in 2D disordered Ising models
Federico Ettori, Filippo Perani, Stefano Turzi +1
We study the qualitative and quantitative properties of the Barkhausen noise emerging at finite temperatures in random Ising models. The random-bond Ising Model is studied with a W…
Active viscoelastic nematics with partial degree of order
Stefano Turzi
Continuum models of active nematic gels have proved successful to describe a number of biological systems consisting of a population of rodlike motile subunits in a fluid environme…
Dehydration induced mechanical instabilities in active elastic spherical shells
Michele Curatolo, Gaetano Napoli, Paola Nardinocchi +1
Active-elastic instabilities are common phenomena in the natural world which have the aspect of sudden mechanical morphings. Frequently, the driving force of the instability mechan…
Landau-like theory for buckling phenomena and its application to the elastica hypoarealis
Stefano S. Turzi
Bifurcation phenomena are ubiquitous in elasticity, but their study is often limited to linear perturbation or numerical analysis since second or higher variations are often beyond…
Tumbling in nematic polymers and liquid crystals
Stefano S. Turzi
Most, but not all, liquid crystals tend to align when subject to shear flow, while most nematic polymeric liquid crystals undergo a tumbling instability, where the director rotate…
Active nematic gels as active relaxing solids
Stefano S Turzi
I put forward a continuum theory for active nematic gels, defined as fluids or suspensions of orientable rodlike objects endowed with active dynamics, that is based on symmetry arg…
