Collective excitations in active solids featuring alignment interactions
Yutaka Kinoshita, Nariya Uchida, Andreas M. Menzel
With increasing emphasis on the study of active solids, the features of these classes of nonequilibrium systems and materials beyond their mere existence shift into focus. One conc…
Self-sustained patchy turbulence in shear-thinning active fluids
Henning Reinken, Andreas M. Menzel
Bacterial suspensions and other active fluids are known to develop highly dynamical vortex states, denoted as active or mesoscale turbulence. We reveal the pronounced effect of non…
Rotational dynamics of a disk in a thin film of weakly nematic fluid subject to linear friction
Abdallah Daddi-Moussa-Ider, Elsen Tjhung, Marc Pradas +2
Dynamics at low Reynolds numbers experiences recent revival in the fields of biophysics and active matter. While in bulk isotropic fluids it is exhaustively studied, this is less s…
Effects of curvature on growing films of microorganisms
Yuta Kuroda, Takeshi Kawasaki, Andreas M. Menzel
To provide insight into the basic properties of emerging structures when bacteria or other microorganisms conquer surfaces, it is crucial to analyze their growth behavior during th…
Analytical expressions for the two basic modes of surface displacement and overall deformation of a free-standing or elastically embedded sphere
Lukas Fischer, Andreas M. Menzel
Calculating by analytical theory the deformation of finite-sized elastic bodies in response to internally applied forces is a challenge. Here, we derive explicit analytical express…
Internal sites of actuation and activation in thin elastic films and membranes of finite thickness
Tyler Lutz, Andreas M. Menzel, Abdallah Daddi-Moussa-Ider
Functionalized thin elastic films and membranes frequently feature internal sites of net forces or stresses. These are, for instance, active sites of actuation, or rigid inclusions…
Vortex pattern stabilization in thin films resulting from shear thickening of active suspensions
Henning Reinken, Andreas M. Menzel
The need for structuring on micrometer scales is abundant, for example, in view of phononic applications. We here outline a novel approach based on the phenomenon of active turbule…
Hydrodynamics of a disk in a thin film of weakly nematic fluid subject to linear friction
Abdallah Daddi-Moussa-Ider, Elsen Tjhung, Thomas Richter +1
To make progress towards the development of a theory on the motion of inclusions in thin structured films and membranes, we here consider as an initial step a circular disk in a tw…
