Multimodal motion and behavior switching of multistable ciliary walkers
Sumit Mohanty, Paul Baconnier, Harmannus A. H. Schomaker +3
The collective motion of arrays of cilia - tiny, hairlike protrusions - drives the locomotion of numerous microorganisms, enabling multimodal motion and autonomous switching betwee…
Dynamic Avalanches: Rate-Controlled Switching and Race Conditions
Lishuai Jin, Martin van Hecke
Avalanches are rapid cascades of rearrangements driven by cooperative flipping of hysteretic local elements. Here we show that flipping dynamics and race conditions -- where multip…
Colloidal Pivots Enable Brownian Metamaterials and Machines
Julio Melio, Martin van Hecke, Silke E. Henkes +1
Biological machines harness targeted deformations that can be actuated by Brownian fluctuations. However, while synthetic micromachines can similarly leverage targeted deformations…
Dynamic self-loops in networks of passive and active binary elements
Paul Baconnier, Margot H. Teunisse, Martin van Hecke
Models of coupled binary elements capture memory effects in complex dissipative materials, such as transient responses or sequential computing, when their interactions are chosen a…
Geometric control and memory in networks of hysteretic elements
Dor Shohat, Martin van Hecke
The response of driven frustrated media stems from interacting hysteretic elements. We derive explicit mappings from networks of hysteretic springs to their abstract representation…
Two classes of events in sheared particulate matter
Peter K. Morse, Sven Wijtmans, Merlijn van Deen +2
Under shear, a system of particles changes its contact network and becomes unstable as it transitions between mechanically stable states. For hard spheres at zero pressure, contact…
