Swarming, swirling and stasis in sequestered bristle-bots
L. Giomi, N. Hawley-Weld, L. Mahadevan
The collective ability of organisms to move coherently in space and time is ubiquitous in any group of autonomous agents that can move and sense each other and the environment. Her…
Reply to Comment on "Statistical mechanics of developable ribbons"
L. Giomi, L. Mahadevan
Starostin and van der Heijden [arXiv:1111.2029] question the validity of the results reported in our Letter [Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 238104 (2010)] regarding the existence of spontan…
Banding, Excitability and Chaos in Active Nematic Suspensions
L. Giomi, L. Mahadevan, B. Chakraborty +1
Motivated by the observation of highly unstable flowing states in suspensions of microtubules and kinesin, we analyze a model of mutually-propelled filaments suspended in a solvent…
Multistability of free spontaneously-curved anisotropic strips
L. Giomi, L. Mahadevan
Multistable structures are objects with more than one stable conformation, exemplified by the simple switch. Continuum versions are often elastic composite plates or shells, such a…
Excitable Patterns in Active Nematics
L. Giomi, L. Mahadevan, B. Chakraborty +1
We analyze a model of mutually-propelled filaments suspended in a two-dimensional solvent. The system undergoes a mean-field isotropic-nematic transition for large enough filament…
Statistical Mechanics of Developable Ribbons
L. Giomi, L. Mahadevan
We investigate the statistical mechanics of long developable ribbons of finite width and very small thickness. The constraint of isometric deformations in these ribbon-like structu…
