Generic Stress Rectification in Nonlinear Elastic Media
Félix Benoist, Guglielmo Saggiorato, Martin Lenz
Stress propagation in nonlinear media is crucial in cell biology, where molecular motors exert anisotropic force dipoles on the fibrous cytoskeleton. While the force dipoles can be…
Human sperm steer with second harmonics of the flagellar beat
Guglielmo Saggiorato, Luis Alvarez, Jan F. Jikeli +3
Sperm are propelled by bending waves travelling along the flagellum. During steering in gradients of sensory cues, sperm adjust the flagellar beat waveform. Symmetric and asymmetri…
Conformations, hydrodynamic interactions, and instabilities of sedimenting semiflexible filaments
G. Saggiorato, J. Elgeti, R. G. Winkler +1
The conformations and dynamics of semiflexible filaments subject to a homogeneous external (gravitational) field, e.g., in a centrifuge, are studied numerically and analytically. T…
About the role of chaos and coarse graining in Statistical Mechanics
Gianmaria Falasco, Guglielmo Saggiorato, Angelo Vulpiani
We discuss the role of ergodicity and chaos for the validity of statistical laws. In particular we explore the basic aspects of chaotic systems (with emphasis on the finite-resolut…
