Active Growth Layer Induced by Micromechanical Feedback Shapes Proliferating Cell Collectives
Fidel Álvarez-Murphy, Ignacio Medina, Néstor Sepúlveda +1
Proliferating cell collectives often develop an active growth layer near their boundary that regulates expansion and morphology, as observed in systems ranging from bacterial biofi…
Elasticity of self-organized frustrated disordered spring networks
Tommaso Pettinari, Gustavo Düring, Edan Lerner
There have been some interesting recent advances in understanding the notion of mechanical disorder in structural glasses and the statistical mechanics of these systems' low-energy…
Auxetic Granular Metamaterials
Daan Haver, Daniel Acuña, Shahram Janbaz +3
The flowing, jamming and avalanche behavior of granular materials is satisfyingly universal and vexingly hard to tune: a granular flow is typically intermittent and will irremediab…
Auxetic behavior on demand: a three steps recipe for new designs
Daniel Acuna, Francisco Gutiérrez, Rodrigo Silva +3
Despite their outstanding mechanical properties, with many industrial applications, a rational and systematic design of new and controlled auxetic materials remains poorly develope…
Low-energy non-linear excitations in sphere packings
Edan Lerner, Gustavo Düring, Matthieu Wyart
We study theoretically and numerically how hard frictionless particles in random packings can rearrange. We demonstrate the existence of two distinct unstable non-linear modes of r…
