How paper folds: bending with local constraints
Jemal Guven, Martin Michael Mueller
A variational framework is introduced to describe how a surface bends when it is subject to local constraints on its geometry. This framework is applied to describe the patterns of…
Contact lines for fluid surface adhesion
Markus Deserno, Martin M. Mueller, Jemal Guven
When a fluid surface adheres to a substrate, the location of the contact line adjusts in order to minimize the overall energy. This adhesion balance implies boundary conditions whi…
Inverted catenoids, curvature singularities and tethered membranes
Pavel Castro-Villarreal, Jemal Guven
If a catenoid is inverted in any interior point, a deflated compact geometry is obtained which touches at two points (its poles). The catenoid is a minimal surface and, as such, is…
Null Frenet-Serret Dynamics
Riccardo Capovilla, Jemal Guven, Efrain Rojas
We consider the Frenet-Serret geometry of null curves in a three and a four-dimensional Minkowski background. We develop a theory of deformations adapted to the Frenet-Serret frame…
Balancing torques in membrane-mediated interactions: Exact results and numerical illustrations
Martin Michael Mueller, Markus Deserno, Jemal Guven
Torques on interfaces can be described by a divergence-free tensor which is fully encoded in the geometry. This tensor consists of two terms, one originating in the couple of the s…
