Criticality and isostaticity in fiber networks
Chase P. Broedersz, Xiaoming Mao, T. C. Lubensky +1
The rigidity of elastic networks depends sensitively on their internal connectivity and the nature of the interactions between constituents. Particles interacting via central force…
Non-affine displacements in flexible polymer networks
Anindita Basu, Qi Wen, Xiaoming Mao +3
The validity of the affine assumption in model flexible polymer networks is explored. To this end, the displacements of fluorescent tracer beads embedded in polyacrylamide gels are…
Coherent potential approximation of random nearly isostatic kagome lattice
Xiaoming Mao, T. C. Lubensky
The kagome lattice has coordination number , and it is mechanically isostatic when nearest neighbor () sites are connected by central force springs. A lattice of sites h…
Order-by-disorder in the antiferromagnetic Ising model on an elastic triangular lattice
Yair Shokef, Anton Souslov, Tom C. Lubensky
Geometrically frustrated materials have a ground-state degeneracy that may be lifted by subtle effects, such as higher order interactions causing small energetic preferences for or…
Centrifugal compression of soft particle packings - theory and experiment
K. N. Nordstrom, E. Verneuil, W. G. Ellenbroek +3
An exact method is developed for computing the height of an elastic medium subjected to centrifugal compression, for arbitrary constitutive relation between stress and strain. Exam…
