Boundary behaviours of open vesicles in axisymmetric case
Xiaohua Zhou
A continuous transformation from a closed vesicle to an open vesicle needs that the area of open hole enlarge from zero. Since the shape equation and boundary conditions of lipid o…
Discontinuity of curvature on axisymmetric Willmore surfaces
Xiaohua Zhou
The equilibrium shapes of vesicles are governed by the general shape equation which is derived from the minimization of the Helfrich elastic free energy and can be reduced to the W…
Structure--property relationships of cell clusters in biotissues: 2D analysis
Xiaohua Zhou, Erhu Zhang, Minggang Xia +2
To insight the relationships between the self-organizing structures of cells, such as the cell clusters, and the properties of biotissues is helpful in revealing the function and d…
Manipulate the coiling and uncoiling movements of Lepidoptera proboscis by its conformation optimizing
Xiaohua Zhou, Shengli Zhang
Many kinds of adult Lepidoptera insects possess a long proboscis which is used to suck liquids and has the coiling and uncoiling movements. Although experiments revealed qualitativ…
A one-dimensional continuous model for carbon nanotubes
Xiaohua Zhou
The continuous two-dimensional (2D) elastic model for single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) provided by Tu and Ou-Yang in [Phys. Rev. B \textbf{65}, 235411 (2003)] is reduced to a…
Periodic-cylinder vesicle with minimal energy
Xiaohua Zhou
We give some details about the periodic cylindrical solution found by Zhang and Ou-Yang in [Phys. Rev. E 53, 4206(1996)] for the general shape equation of vesicle. Three different…
