Gyrification from constrained cortical expansion
Tuomas Tallinen, Jun Young Chung, John S. Biggins +1
The exterior of the mammalian brain - the cerebral cortex - has a conserved layered structure whose thickness varies little across species. However, selection pressures over evolut…
Mechanics of invagination and folding: hybridized instabilities when one soft tissue grows on another
Tuomas Tallinen, John S. Biggins
We address the folding induced by differential growth in soft layered solids via an elementary model that consists of a soft growing neo-Hookean elastic layer adhered to a deep ela…
Surface sulci in squeezed soft solids
Tuomas Tallinen, John S. Biggins, L. Mahadevan
The squeezing of soft solids, the constrained growth of biological tissues, and the swelling of soft elastic solids such as gels can generate large compressive stresses at their su…
Forced tearing of ductile and brittle thin sheets
T. Tallinen, L. Mahadevan
Tearing a thin sheet by forcing a rigid object through it leads to complex crack morphologies; a single oscillatory crack arises when a tool is driven laterally through a brittle s…
Twisting Graphene Nanoribbons into Carbon Nanotubes
O. O. Kit, T. Tallinen, L. Mahadevan +2
Although carbon nanotubes consist of honeycomb carbon, they have never been fabricated from graphene directly. Here, it is shown by quantum molecular-dynamics simulations and class…
Shock driven jamming and periodic fracture of particulate rafts
M. M. Bandi, T. Tallinen, L. Mahadevan
A tenuous monolayer of hydrophobic particles at the air-water interface often forms a scum or raft. When such a monolayer is disturbed by the localized introduction of a surfactant…
