Programmable metachronal motion of densely packed magnetic artificial cilia
Tongsheng Wang, Tanveer ul Islam, Erik Steur +5
Despite recent advances in artificial cilia technologies, the application of metachrony, which is the collective wavelike motion by cilia moving out-of-phase, has been severely ham…
Microfluidic propulsion by the metachronal beating of magnetic artificial cilia: a numerical analysis
Syed Khaderi, Jaap den Toonder, Patrick Onck
In this work we study the effect of metachronal waves on the flow created by magnetically-driven plate-like artificial cilia in microchannels using numerical simulations. The simul…
Magnetically-actuated artificial cilia for microfluidic propulsion
S. N. Khaderi, M. G. H. M. Baltussen, P. D. Anderson +3
Natural cilia are hair-like microtubule-based structures that are able to move fluid at low Reynolds number through asymmetric motion. In this paper we follow a biomimetic approach…
Stiffening of semiflexible biopolymers and cross-linked networks
T. Van Dillen, P. R. Onck, E. Van der Giessen
We study the mechanical stiffening behavior in two-dimensional (2D) cross-linked networks of semiflexible biopolymer filaments under simple shear. Filamental constituents immersed…
