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…
Minimal surfaces bounded by elastic lines
L. Giomi, L. Mahadevan
In mathematics, the classical Plateau problem consists of finding the surface of least area that spans a given rigid boundary curve. A physical realization of the problem is obtain…
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…
