Structuring Stress for Active Materials Control
Rui Zhang, Steven A. Redford, Paul V. Ruijgrok +8
Active materials are capable of converting free energy into mechanical work to produce autonomous motion, and exhibit striking collective dynamics that biology relies on for essent…
Simple views on symmetries and dualities in the theory of elasticity
Michel Fruchart, Vincenzo Vitelli
Microscopic symmetries impose strong constraints on the elasticity of a crystalline solid. In addition to the usual spatial symmetries captured by the tensorial character of the el…
Anisotropic odd viscosity via time-modulated drive
Anton Souslov, Andrey Gromov, Vincenzo Vitelli
At equilibrium, the structure and response of ordered phases are typically determined by the spontaneous breaking of spatial symmetries. Out of equilibrium, spatial order itself ca…
Topological structure and dynamics of three dimensional active nematics
Guillaume Duclos, Raymond Adkins, Debarghya Banerjee +13
Point-like motile topological defects control the universal dynamics of diverse two-dimensional active nematics ranging from shaken granular rods to cellular monolayers. A comparab…
Odd elasticity
Colin Scheibner, Anton Souslov, Debarghya Banerjee +3
Hooke's law states that the forces or stresses experienced by an elastic object are proportional to the applied deformations or strains. The number of coefficients of proportionali…
