Segregation, Finite Time Elastic Singularities and Coarsening in Renewable Active Matter

Ayan Roychowdhury, Saptarshi Dasgupta, Madan Rao

Material renewability in active living systems, such as in cells and tissues, can drive the large-scale patterning of forces, with distinctive phenotypic consequences. This is espe…

Active drive towards elastic spinodals

Ayan Roychowdhury, Madan Rao, Lev Truskinovsky

Active matter, exemplified by adaptive living materials such as the actomyosin cytoskeleton, can navigate material parameter space dynamically, leading to unconventional mechanical…

Emergence of Tension Chains and Active Force Patterning

Ayan Roychowdhury, Saptarshi Dasgupta, Madan Rao

Viewed under a fluorescence microscope, the actomyosin cytoskeleton presents vivid streaks of lines together with persistent oscillatory waves. Using an active hydrodynamic approac…

Defects and Metric Anomalies in Föppl-von Kármán Surfaces

Manish Singh, Ayan Roychowdhury, Anurag Gupta

A general framework is developed to study the deformation and stress response in F{ö}ppl-von K{á}rm{á}n shallow shells for a given distribution of defects, such as dislocations, di…

Dislocations, disclinations, and metric anomalies as sources of global strain incompatibility in thin shells

Ayan Roychowdhury, Anurag Gupta

The strain incompatibility equations are discussed for nonlinear Kirchhoff-Love shells with sources of inhomogeneity arising due to a distribution of topological defects, such as d…

On structured surfaces with defects: geometry, strain incompatibility, internal stress, and natural shapes

Ayan Roychowdhury, Anurag Gupta

Given a distribution of defects on a structured surface, such as those represented by 2-dimensional crystalline materials, liquid crystalline surfaces, and thin sandwiched shells,…
