Self-locking and Stability of the Bowline Knot
Bastien F. G. Aymon, Fani Derveni, Michael Gomez +2
We investigate the self-locking of the bowline knot through numerical simulations, experiments, and theoretical analysis. Specifically, we perform two complementary types of simula…
Effective extensional-torsional elasticity and dynamics of helical filaments under distributed loads
Michael Gomez, Eric Lauga
We study slender, helical elastic rods subject to distributed forces and moments. Focussing on the case when the helix axis remains straight, we employ the method of multiple scale…
Gyrophilia: Harnessing Centrifugal and Euler Forces for Tunable Buckling of a Rotating Elastica
Eduardo Gutierrez-Prieto, Michael Gomez, Pedro M. Reis
We investigate the geometrically nonlinear deformation and buckling of a slender elastic beam subject to time-dependent `fictitious' (non-inertial) forces arising from unsteady rot…
