General Solution for Elastic Networks on Arbitrary Curved Surfaces in the Absence of Rotational Symmetry
Yankang Liu, Siyu Li, Roya Zandi +1
Understanding crystal growth over arbitrary curved surfaces with arbitrary boundaries is a formidable challenge, stemming from the complexity of formulating non-linear elasticity u…
PyMembrane: A flexible framework for efficient simulations of elastic and liquid membranes
D. A. Matoz-Fernandez, Siyu Li, Monica Olvera de la Cruz +1
PyMembrane is a software package for simulating liquid and elastic membranes using a discretisation of the continuum description based on unstructured triangulated two-dimensional…
Ground States of Crystalline Caps: Generalized Jellium on Curved Space
Siyu Li, Roya Zandi, Alex Travesset +1
We study the structure and elastic energy of the ground states of crystalline caps conforming to a spherical surface. These ground states consist of positive disclination defects i…
Elasticity in Curved Topographies: Exact Theories and Linear Approximations
Siyu Li, Roya Zandi, Alex Travesset
Almost all available results in elasticity on curved topographies are obtained within either a small curvature expansion or an empirical covariant generalization that accounts for…
The equilibrium structure of self-assembled protein nano-cages
Sanaz Panahandeh, Siyu Li, Roya Zandi
Understanding how highly symmetric, robust, monodisperse protein cages self-assemble can have major applications in various areas of bio-nanotechnology, such as drug delivery, biom…
