Fracture in Sheets Draped on Curved Surfaces
Noah P. Mitchell, Vinzenz Koning, Vincenzo Vitelli +1
Conforming materials to rigid substrates with Gaussian curvature --- positive for spheres and negative for saddles --- has proven a versatile tool to guide the self-assembly of def…
How superfluid vortex knots untie
Dustin Kleckner, Louis H. Kauffman, William T. M. Irvine
Knotted and tangled structures frequently appear in physical fields, but so do mechanisms for untying them. To understand how this untying works, we simulate the behavior of 1,458…
Topological mechanics of gyroscopic metamaterials
Lisa M. Nash, Dustin Kleckner, Alismari Read +3
Topological mechanical metamaterials are artificial structures whose unusual properties are protected very much like their electronic and optical counterparts. Here, we present an…
