Solitons and thermal fluctuations in strongly nonlinear solids
N. Upadhyaya, A. M. Turner, V. Vitelli
We study a chain of anharmonic springs with tunable power law interactions as a minimal model to explore the propagation of strongly non-linear solitary wave excitations in a backg…
Bivalent defect configurations in inhomogeneous nematic shells
V. Koning, T. Lopez-Leon, A. Fernandez-Nieves +1
We present a theoretical study of the director fields and energetics of nematic liquid crystal shells with two pairs of surface defects. The pairs of defects can undergo abrupt tra…
Extrema statistics in the dynamics of a non-Gaussian random field
T. H. Beuman, A. M. Turner, V. Vitelli
When the equations that govern the dynamics of a random field are nonlinear, the field can develop with time non-Gaussian statistics even if its initial condition is Gaussian. Here…
Umbilical points of a non-Gaussian random field
A. M. Turner, T. H. Beuman, V. Vitelli
Random fields in nature often have, to a good approximation, Gaussian characteristics. For such fields, the relative densities of umbilical points -- topological defects which can…
