Optimizing diffusion-limited transport, with applications to electrochemical systems
Manu Mannattil, L. Mahadevan
Transport in certain systems fails when diffusion cannot replenish or remove material from a boundary rapidly enough, causing the boundary concentration to reach a critical minimum…
Phase transitions and microphases in elastomers. II. Anisotropy-driven morphologies
Manu Mannattil, David Andelman, Haim Diamant
In swollen elastomers, elasticity can arrest macroscopic demixing between the polymer network and the solvent, producing stable domains of finite size. While previous theories have…
Phase transitions and microphases in elastomers. I. Emergence of stable domains
Manu Mannattil, Haim Diamant, David Andelman
Elasticity often plays a key role in regulating phase separation in physical systems. Recent experiments have shown that elastic effects can be used to control microphase separatio…
Theory of Microphase Separation in Elastomers
Manu Mannattil, Haim Diamant, David Andelman
Inspired by recent experiments, we present a phase-field model of microphase separation in an elastomer swollen with a solvent. The imbalance between the molecular scale of demixin…
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…
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…
