Collective states of active particles with elastic dipolar interactions
Subhaya Bose, Patrick S. Noerr, Ajay Gopinathan +2
Many types of mammalian cells exert active contractile forces and mechanically deform their elastic substrate, to accomplish biological functions such as cell migration. These subs…
How do biofilms feel their environment?
Merrill Asp, Minh Tri Ho Thanh, Arvind Gopinath +1
The ability of bacteria to colonize and grow on different surfaces is an essential process for biofilm development and depends on complex biomechanical interactions between the bio…
Flapping, swirling and flipping: Non-linear dynamics of pre-stressed active filaments
Soheil Fatehiboroujeni, Arvind Gopinath, Sachin Goyal
Initially straight slender elastic rods with geometrically constrained ends buckle and form stable two-dimensional shapes when compressed by bringing the ends together. It is also…
Effect of Boundary Constraints on the Nonlinear Flapping of Filaments Animated by Follower Forces
Soheil Fatehiboroujeni, Arvind Gopinath, Sachin Goyal
Elastically driven filaments subjected to animating compressive follower forces provide a synthetic way to mimic the oscillatory beating of active biological filaments such as euka…
Follower Forces in Pre-Stressed Fixed-Fixed Rods to Mimic Oscillatory Beating of Active Filaments
Soheil Fatehiboroujeni, Arvind Gopinath, Sachin Goyal
Flagella and cilia are examples of actively oscillating, whiplike biological filaments that are crucial to processes as diverse as locomotion, mucus clearance, embryogenesis and ce…
The propagation of active-passive interfaces in bacterial swarms
Alison E. Patteson, Arvind Gopinath, Paulo E. Arratia
Propagating interfaces are ubiquitous in nature, underlying instabilities and pattern formation in biology and material science. Physical principles governing interface growth are…
