Adhesive tape loops
Krishnan Suryanarayanan, Andrew B. Croll, Harmeet Singh
We present an experimental and theoretical study of the mechanics of an \emph{adhesive tape loop}, formed by bending a straight rectangular strip with adhesive properties, and pres…
A theory of locally impenetrable elastic tubes
Krishnan Suryanarayanan, Harmeet Singh
We present a reduced-order theory for locally impenetrable elastic tubes with uniform circular cross-section. The constraint of local impenetrability is incorporated into a variati…
Work and Activation in a Nematic Polymer Network Ribbon
H. Singh, K. Suryanarayanan, E. G. Virga
We study spontaneous deformations of a ribbon made of nematic polymer networks and activated under the action of a mechanical load. We show that when such ribbons are activated app…
Partial constraint singularities in elastic rods
J. A. Hanna, H. Singh, E. G. Virga
We present a unified classical treatment of partially constrained elastic rods. Partial constraints often entail singularities in both shapes and reactions. Our approach encompasse…
Pick-up and impact of flexible bodies
H. Singh, J. A. Hanna
Picking up, laying down, colliding, rolling, and peeling are partial-contact interactions involving moving discontinuities. We examine the balances of momentum and energy across a…
