Forced motion of a cylinder within a liquid-filled elastic tube
Amit Vurgaft, Shai B. Elbaz, Amir D. Gat
This work analyzes the viscous flow and elastic deformation created by the forced axial motion of a rigid cylinder within an elastic liquid-filled tube. The examined configuration…

Dynamics and instabilities of an arbitrarily clamped elastic sheet in potential flow with application to shape-morphing airfoils
Netanel Hassan, Shai B. Elbaz, Amir D. Gat
The aim of this work is to study the dynamics and stability of soft shape-morphing configurations and specifically the modes of interaction between the front and rear airfoil segme…

Gaseous viscous peeling of linearly elastic substrates
Shai B. Elbaz, Hila Jacob, Amir D. Gat
We study pressure-driven propagation of gas into a micron-scale gap between two linearly elastic substrates. Applying the lubrication approximation, the flow-field is governed by t…
