Geometric Localization of Waves on Thin Elastic Structures
Manu Mannattil, Christian D. Santangelo
We consider the localization of elastic waves in thin elastic structures with spatially varying curvature profiles, using a curved rod and a singly curved shell as concrete example…
How cells wrap around virus-like particles using extracellular filamentous protein structures
Sarthak Gupta, Christian D. Santangelo, Alison E. Patteson +1
Nanoparticles, such as viruses, can enter cells via endocytosis. During endocytosis, the cell surface wraps around the nanoparticle to effectively eat it. Prior focus has been on h…
Controlling the configuration space topology of mechanisms
M. Berry, David Limberg, M. E. Lee-Trimble +2
Linkages are mechanical devices constructed from rigid bars and freely rotating joints studied both for their utility in engineering and as mathematical idealizations in a number o…
Mechanical signaling cascades
Michelle Berry, Yongjae Kim, David Limberg +2
Mechanical computing has seen resurgent interest recently owing to the potential to embed sensing and computation into new classes of programmable metamaterials. To realize this, h…
Elastic wave manipulation in geodesic lenses
Matteo Mazzotti, Mohit Gupta, Christian Santangelo +1
We investigate wave propagation in curved, thin elastic waveguides, where curvature is shown to be equivalent to a spatially modulated refractive index. We establish this relations…
Thermal Fluctuations of Singular Bar-Joint Mechanisms
Manu Mannattil, J. M. Schwarz, Christian D. Santangelo
A bar-joint mechanism is a deformable assembly of freely rotating joints connected by stiff bars. Here we develop a formalism to study the equilibration of common bar-joint mechani…
