Collective Behavior and Memory States in Flow Networks with Tunable Bistability
Lauren E. Altman, Nadia Aguilar, Douglas J. Durian +2
Multistability-induced hysteresis has been widely studied in mechanical systems, but such behavior has proven more difficult to reproduce experimentally in flow networks. Natural f…
Topological characterization of the continuum of allosteric response
Jason W. Rocks, Eleni Katifori, Andrea J. Liu
Allosteric regulation in proteins is often accompanied by conformational changes that facilitate transmission of mechanical signals between distant ligand binding sites. Typically,…
The fluidic memristor: collective phenomena in elastohydrodynamic networks
Alejandro Martinez-Calvo, Matthew D Biviano, Anneline Christensen +3
Fluid flow networks are ubiquitous and can be found in a broad range of contexts, from human-made systems such as water supply networks to living systems like animal and plant vasc…
Flow network controlled shape transformation of a thin membrane through differential fluid storage and surface expansion
Yongtian Luo, Che-Ling Ho, Brent R. Helliker +1
The mechanical properties of a thin, planar material, perfused by an embedded flow network, can be changed locally and globally by the fluid transport and storage, resulting in sma…
Universal scaling of shear thickening transitions
Meera Ramaswamy, Itay Griniasty, Danilo B. Liarte +6
Nearly all dense suspensions undergo dramatic and abrupt thickening transitions in their flow behaviour when sheared at high stresses. Such transitions occur when the dominant inte…
Exact solutions for the wrinkle patterns of confined elastic shells
Ian Tobasco, Yousra Timounay, Desislava Todorova +3
Complex textured surfaces occur in nature and industry, from fingerprints to lithography-based micropatterns. Wrinkling by confinement to an incompatible substrate is an attractive…
