Modeling mechanochemical pattern formation in elastic sheets of biological matter
Andrei Zakharov, Kinjal Dasbiswas
Inspired by active shape morphing in developing tissues and biomaterials, we investigate two generic mechanochemical models where the deformations of a thin elastic sheet are drive…
Mechanochemical induction of wrinkling morphogenesis on elastic shells
Andrei Zakharov, Kinjal Dasbiswas
Morphogenetic dynamics of tissue sheets require coordinated cell shape changes regulated by global patterning of mechanical forces. Inspired by such biological phenomena, we propos…
Fiber-based shape-morphing architectures
Andrei Zakharov, Len M. Pismen, Leonid Ionov
We describe a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of shape-morphing structures assembled by actuating composite (Janus) fibers, taking into account multiple relevan…
Programmable Filaments and Textiles
A. P. Zakharov, L. M. Pismen
We analyze the various morphing structures obtained by actuating Janus filaments comprising driven and passive sectors and textiles incorporating driven and passive filaments. Tran…
Multiplicity of actuated shapes in woven fabrics with twisted Janus fibres
A. P. Zakharov, L. M. Pismen
We investigate actuation of woven fabrics including active Janus fibres with an imposed twist, which bend in variable directions upon phase transition between isotropic and nematic…
Reshaping of a Janus ring
A. P. Zakharov, L. M. Pismen
We consider reshaping of closed Janus filaments acquiring intrinsic curvature upon actuation of an active component -- a nematic elastomer elongating upon phase transition. Linear…
