Growing structure based on viscous actuation of constrained multistable elements
Ezra Ben Abu, Yaron Veksler, Shai Elbaz +2
Growing soft materials which follow a 3D path in space are critical to applications such as search and rescue and minimally invasive surgery. Here, we present a concept for a singl…
Dynamics of fixed-volume pinned film -- dealing with a non-self-adjoint thin film problem
Israel Gabay, Vesna Bacheva, Dotan Ilssar +3
The use of thin liquid films has expanded beyond lubrication and coatings, and into applications in actuators and adaptive optical elements. In contrast to their predecessors, whos…
Dynamics of reconfigurable straw-like elements
Dotan Ilssar, Michael Pukshansky, Yizhar Or +1
In this paper, we discuss the dynamic modeling of fluid-filled straw-like elements consisting of serially interconnected elastic frusta with both axisymmetric and antisymmetric deg…
Fluid-driven traveling waves in soft robots
Lior Salem, Amir D. Gat, Yizhar Or
Many marine creatures, gastropods, and earthworms generate continuous traveling waves in their bodies for locomotion within marine environments, complex surfaces, and inside narrow…
Viscous flow-fields in hyperelastic Chambers
Eran Ben-Haim, Dotan Ilssar, Yizhar Or +1
Viscous flows in hyperelastic chambers are relevant to many biological phenomena such as inhalation into the lung's acinar region and medical applications such as the inflation of…
Shaping liquid films by dielectrophoresis
Israel Gabay, Federico Paratore, Evgeniy Boyko +3
We present a theoretical model and experimental demonstration of thin liquid film deformations due to a dielectric force distribution established by surface electrodes. We model th…
