The shapes of physical trefoil knots
Paul Johanns, Paul Grandgeorge, Changyeob Baek +3
We perform a compare-and-contrast investigation between the equilibrium shapes of physical and ideal trefoil knots, both in closed and open configurations. Ideal knots are purely g…
Technical Brief: Finite Element Modeling of Tight Elastic Knots
Changyeob Baek, Paul Johanns, Tomohiko G. Sano +2
We present a methodology to simulate the mechanics of knots in elastic rods using geometrically nonlinear, full three-dimensional (3D) finite element analysis. We focus on the mech…
Mechanics of two filaments in tight contact: The orthogonal clasp
Paul Grandgeorge, Changyeob Baek, Harmeet Singh +5
Networks of flexible filaments often involve regions of tight contact. Predictively understanding the equilibrium configurations of these systems is challenging due to intricate co…
Spontaneous surface reserve formation in wicked membranes bestow extreme stretchability
Paul Grandgeorge, Natacha Krins, Aurélie Hourlier-Fargette +3
Soft stretchable materials are key for arising technologies such as stretchable electronics or batteries, smart textiles, biomedical devices, tissue engineering and soft robotics.…
Elastocapillary coiling of an elastic rod inside a drop
Hervé Elettro, Paul Grandgeorge, Sébastien Neukirch
Capillary forces acting at the surface of a liquid drop can be strong enough to deform small objects and recent studies have provided several examples of elastic instabilities indu…
