Multimodal motion and behavior switching of multistable ciliary walkers
Sumit Mohanty, Paul Baconnier, Harmannus A. H. Schomaker +3
The collective motion of arrays of cilia - tiny, hairlike protrusions - drives the locomotion of numerous microorganisms, enabling multimodal motion and autonomous switching betwee…
Dynamic self-loops in networks of passive and active binary elements
Paul Baconnier, Margot H. Teunisse, Martin van Hecke
Models of coupled binary elements capture memory effects in complex dissipative materials, such as transient responses or sequential computing, when their interactions are chosen a…
Collective actuation in active solids in the presence of a polarizing field: a systematic analysis of the dynamical regimes
Paul Baconnier, Vincent Démery, Olivier Dauchot
Collective actuation in active solids, the spontaneous condensation of the dynamics on a few elastic modes, takes place whenever the deformations of the structure reorient the forc…
Reentrant transition to collective actuation in active solids with a polarizing field
Paul Baconnier, Mathéo Aksil, Vincent Démery +1
Collective actuation in active solids - the spontaneous coherent excitation of a few vibrational modes - emerges from a feedback between structural deformations and the orientation…
Aging of amorphous materials under cyclic strain
Dor Shohat, Paul Baconnier, Itamar Procaccia +2
Amorphous materials driven away from equilibrium display a diverse repertoire of complex, history-dependent behaviors. One striking feature is a failure to return to equilibrium af…
