Orisometry formalism reveals duality and exotic nonuniform response in origami sheets

Michael Czajkowski, James McInerney, Andrew M. Wu +1

Origami metamaterial design enables drastic qualitative changes in the response properties of a thin sheet via the addition of a repeating pattern of folds based around a rigid fol…

Rigidity percolation in a random tensegrity via analytic graph theory

William Stephenson, Vishal Sudhakar, James McInerney +2

Functional structures from across the engineered and biological world combine rigid elements such as bones and columns with flexible ones such as cables, fibers and membranes. Thes…

Duality and Sheared Analytic Response in Mechanism-Based Metamaterials

Michael Czajkowski, D. Zeb Rocklin

Mechanical metamaterials designed around a zero-energy pathway of deformation, known as a mechanism, have repeatedly challenged the conventional picture of elasticity. However, the…

Conformal Elasticity of Mechanism-Based Metamaterials

Michael Czajkowski, Corentin Coulais, Martin van Hecke +1

Deformations of conventional solids are described via elasticity, a classical field theory whose form is constrained by translational and rotational symmetries. However, flexible m…

Glassy Dynamics in Models of Confluent Tissue with Mitosis and Apoptosis

Michael Czajkowski, Daniel M. Sussman, M. Cristina Marchetti +1

Recent work on particle-based models of tissues has suggested that any finite rate of cell division and cell death is sufficient to fluidize an epithelial tissue. At the same time,…

Hydrodynamics of shape-driven rigidity transitions in motile tissues

Michael Czajkowski, Dapeng Bi, M. Lisa Manning +1

In biological tissues, it is now well-understood that mechanical cues are a powerful mechanism for pattern regulation. While much work has focused on interactions between cells and…

Correlating Cell Shape and Cellular Stress in Motile Confluent Tissues

Xingbo Yang, Dapeng Bi, Michael Czajkowski +3

Collective cell migration is a highly regulated process involved in wound healing, cancer metastasis and morphogenesis. Mechanical interactions among cells provide an important reg…
