Small equatorial deformation of homogeneous spherical fluid vesicles
Andrés Solís-Cuevas, Pablo Vázquez-Montejo
We examine the reaction of a homogeneous spherical fluid vesicle to the force exerted by a rigid circular ring located at its equator in the linear regime. We solve analytically th…
First integrals for elastic curves: twisting instabilities of helices
Didier A. Solis, Pablo Vázquez-Montejo
We put forward a variational framework suitable for the study of curves whose energies depend on their bend and twist degrees of freedom. By employing the material curvatures to de…
Isometric bending requires local constraints on free edges
Jemal Guven, Martin Michael Müller, Pablo Vázquez-Montejo
While the shape equations describing the equilibrium of an unstretchable thin sheet that is free to bend are known, the boundary conditions that supplement these equations on free…
Contractile actuation and dynamical gel assembly of paramagnetic filaments in fast precessing fields
Joshua M. Dempster, Pablo Vázquez-Montejo, Mónica Olvera de la Cruz
Flexible superparamagnetic filaments are studied under the influence of fast precessing magnetic fields using simulations and a continuum approximation analysis. We find that indiv…
Cylindrical confinement of semiflexible polymers
Pablo Vázquez-Montejo, Zachary McDargh, Markus Deserno +1
Equilibrium states of a closed semiflexible polymer binding to a cylinder are described. This may be either by confinement or by constriction. Closed completely bound states are la…
Force dipoles and stable local defects on fluid vesicles
Jemal Guven, Pablo Vázquez-Montejo
An exact description is provided of an almost spherical fluid vesicle with a fixed area and a fixed enclosed volume locally deformed by external normal forces bringing two nearby p…
