Filamin cross-linked semiflexible networks: Fragility under strain
B. A. DiDonna, Alex J. Levine
The semiflexible F-actin network of the cytoskeleton is cross-linked by a variety of proteins including filamin, which contain Ig-domains that unfold under applied tension. We exam…
Nonaffine Correlations in Random Elastic Media
B. A. DiDonna, T. C. Lubensky
Materials characterized by spatially homogeneous elastic moduli undergo affine distortions when subjected to external stress at their boundaries, i.e., their displacements $\uv (\x…
Scaling of the buckling transition of ridges in thin sheets
Brian DiDonna
When a thin elastic sheet crumples, the elastic energy condenses into a network of folding lines and point vertices. These folds and vertices have elastic energy densities much gre…
Anomalous strength of membranes with elastic ridges
B. A. DiDonna, T. A. Witten
We report on a simulational study of the compression and buckling of elastic ridges formed by joining the boundary of a flat sheet to itself. Such ridges store energy anomalously:…
Singularities, Structures and Scaling in Deformed Elastic m-Sheets
B. A. DiDonna, S. C. Venkataramani, T. A. Witten +1
The crumpling of a thin sheet can be understood as the condensation of elastic energy into a network of ridges which meet in vertices. Elastic energy condensation should occur in r…
Sonoluminescence: Coupling to an Applied Magnetic Field
B. A. DiDonna, T. A. Witten, J. B. Young
We investigate several means of coupling between a sonoluminescing bubble and an applied magnetic field. Recent experiments show a strong quadratic dependence between the forcing p…
