Why Decussate? Topological Constraints on 3D Wiring
Troy Shinbrot, Wise Young
Many vertebrate motor and sensory systems decussate, or cross the midline to the opposite side of the body. The successful crossing of millions of axons during development requires…
Gravitational influence of Saturn's rings on its moons
Troy Shinbrot
Exploratory missions have found that regolith on interplanetary bodies can be loosely packed and freely flowing, a state that strongly affects mission plans and that may also influ…
Effects of reduced gravity on the granular fluid-solid transition: underexplored forces can dominate soft matter behaviors
Paul Sánchez, Karen E. Daniels, Heinrich Jaeger +1
Granular media are soft matter systems that exhibit some of the extreme behavior of complex fluids. Understanding of the natural formation of planetary bodies, landing on and explo…
Mechanical equilibrium of aggregates of dielectric spheres
A. F. V. Matias, T. Shinbrot, N. A. M. Araujo
Industrial as well as natural aggregation of fine particles is believed to be associated with electrostatics. Yet like charges repel, so it is unclear how similarly treated particl…
Segregation of charged particles in shear induced diffusion
R. Yoshimatsu, N. A. M. Araújo, T. Shinbrot +1
We study segregation of a binary mixture of similarly charged particles under shear using particle-based simulations. We simulate particle dynamics using a discrete-element model i…
Self-charging of identical grains in the absence of an external field
Ryuta Yoshimatsu, Nuno Araújo, Gerhard Wurm +2
We investigate the electrostatic charging of an agitated bed of identical grains using simulations, mathematical modeling, and experiments. We simulate charging with a discrete-ele…
