Response evolution of mechanical metamaterials under architectural transformations
Anne S. Meeussen, Erdal C. Oguz, Martin van Hecke +1
Architectural transformations play a key role in the evolution of complex systems, from design algorithms for metamaterials to flow and plasticity of disordered media. Here, we dev…
Arrested States in Persistent Active Matter: Gelation without Attraction
Carl Merrigan, Kabir Ramola, Rakesh Chatterjee +3
We explore phase separation and kinetic arrest in a model active colloidal system consisting of self-propelled, hard-core particles with nonconvex shapes. The passive limit of the…
Non-monotonic displacement distribution of active random walkers
Eial Teomy, Yael Roichman, Yair Shokef
We consider a simple model for active random walk with general temporal correlations, and investigate the shape of the probability distribution function of the displacement during…
Kinetically constrained model for gravity-driven granular flow and clogging
Gregory Bolshak, Rakesh Chatterjee, Rotem Lieberman +1
We add extreme driving to the Kob-Andersen kinetically-constrained lattice-gas model in order to mimic the effect of gravity on dense granular systems. For low particle densities,…
Mechanical Interaction Between Cells Facilitates Molecular Transport
David Gomez, Sari Natan, Yair Shokef +1
In vivo, eukaryotic cells are embedded in a matrix environment, where they grow and develop. Generally, this extracellular matrix (ECM) is an anisotropic fibrous structure, through…
Topological defects produce exotic mechanics in complex metamaterials
Anne S. Meeussen, Erdal C. Oguz, Yair Shokef +1
Defects, and in particular topological defects, are architectural motifs that play a crucial role in natural materials. Here we provide a systematic strategy to introduce such defe…
