Stochastic elastohydrodynamics of soft valves
Mengfei He, Sungkyu Cho, Gianna Dafflisio +2
Soft valves serve to modulate and rectify flows in complex vasculatures across the tree of life, e.g. in the heart of every human reading this. Here we consider a minimal physical…
Controlling Droplets at the Tips of Fibers
Mengfei He, Samay Hulikal, Marianna Marquardt +5
Many complex wetting behaviors of fibrous materials are rooted in the behaviors of individual droplets attached to pairs of fibers. Here, we study the splitting of a droplet held b…
A wrinkled cylindrical shell as a tunable locking material
Pan Dong, Mengfei He, Nathan C. Keim +1
A buckled sheet offers a reservoir of material that can be unfurled at a later time. For sufficiently thin yet stiff materials, this geometric process has a striking mechanical fea…
Interplay of gross and fine structures in strongly-curved sheets
Mengfei He, Vincent Démery, Joseph D. Paulsen
Although thin films are typically manufactured in planar sheets or rolls, they are often forced into three-dimensional shapes, producing a plethora of structures across multiple le…
