Viscous adhesion in vibrated sheets: elastohydrodynamics with inertia and compressibility effects
Stephane Poulain, Timo Koch, L. Mahadevan +1
Inspired by recent experiments demonstrating that vibrating elastic sheets can function as seemingly contactless suction cups, we investigate the elastohydrodynamic hovering of a t…
Hovering of an actively driven fluid-lubricated foil
Stephane Poulain, Timo Koch, L. Mahadevan +1
Inspired by recent experimental observations of a harmonically excited elastic foil hovering near a wall while supporting substantial weight, we develop a theoretical framework tha…
Similarity and singularity in adhesive elastohydrodynamic touchdown
Andreas Carlson, L. Mahadevan
We consider the touchdown of an elastic sheet as it adheres to a wall, which has a dynamics that is limited by the viscous resistance provided by the squeeze flow of the intervenin…
Elastohydrodynamics and kinetics of protein patterning in the immunological synapse
Andreas Carlson, L. Mahadevan
The cellular basis for the adaptive immune response during antigen recognition relies on a specialized protein interface known as the immunological synapse (IS). Understanding the…
