Modeling the elastic deformation of polymer crusts formed by sessile droplet evaporation
D. A. Head
Evaporating droplets of polymer or colloid solution may produce a glassy crust at the liquid-vapour interface, which subsequently deforms as an elastic shell. For sessile droplets,…

The mechanical response of semiflexible networks to localized perturbations
D. A. Head, A. J. Levine, F. C. MacKintosh
Previous research on semiflexible polymers including cytoskeletal networks in cells has suggested the existence of distinct regimes of elastic response, in which the strain field i…

A mean field description of jamming in non-cohesive frictionless particulate systems
D. A. Head
A theory for kinetic arrest in isotropic systems of repulsive, radially-interacting particles is presented that predicts exponents for the scaling of various macroscopic quantities…
