Analytical expressions for the two basic modes of surface displacement and overall deformation of a free-standing or elastically embedded sphere
Lukas Fischer, Andreas M. Menzel
Calculating by analytical theory the deformation of finite-sized elastic bodies in response to internally applied forces is a challenge. Here, we derive explicit analytical express…
Vortex pattern stabilization in thin films resulting from shear thickening of active suspensions
Henning Reinken, Andreas M. Menzel
The need for structuring on micrometer scales is abundant, for example, in view of phononic applications. We here outline a novel approach based on the phenomenon of active turbule…
A group theoretical approach to elasticity under constraints and predeformations
Segun Goh, Hartmut Löwen, Andreas M. Menzel
Respecting deformational constraints and predeformations poses a substantial challenge in the description of nonlinear elasticity. We here outline how group theory can play a benef…
Superelastic stress-strain behavior in ferrogels of different types of magneto-elastic coupling
Peet Cremer, Hartmut Löwen, Andreas M. Menzel
Colloidal magnetic particles embedded in an elastic polymer matrix constitute a smart material called ferrogel. It responds to an applied external magnetic field by changes in elas…
Hydrodynamic description of (visco)elastic composite materials and relative strains as a new macroscopic variable
Andreas M. Menzel
One possibility to adjust material properties to a specific need is to embed units of one substance into a matrix of another substance. Even materials that are readily tunable duri…
Tuned, driven, and active soft matter
Andreas M. Menzel
One characteristic feature of soft matter systems is their strong response to external stimuli. As a consequence they are comparatively easily driven out of their ground state and…
