Cytoskeletal bundle bending, buckling, and stretching behavior

F-actin bundles constitute principal components of a multitude of cytoskeletal processes including stereocilia, filopodia, microvilli, neurosensory bristles, cytoskeletal stress fibers, and the sperm acrosome. The bending, buckling, and stretching behaviors of these processes play key roles in cellular functions ranging from locomotion to mechanotransduction and fertilization. Despite their cen...

Equilibria for anisotropic bending energies

We study a variational problem involving an anisotropic bending energy for surfaces. Surfaces with boundary and closed equilibria are discussed.

A Stillinger-Weber potential for single-layered black phosphorus, and the importance of cross-pucker interactions for a negative Poisson's ratio and edge stress-induced bending.

The distinguishing structural feature of single-layered black phosphorus is its puckered structure, which leads to many novel physical properties. In this work, we first present a new parameterization of the Stillinger-Weber potential for single-layered black phosphorus. In doing so, we reveal the importance of a cross-pucker interaction term in capturing its unique mechanical properties, such ...

Shear buckling and dynamic bending in cloth simulation

This paper addresses the problem of simulating the mechanical behavior of cloth in computer animation, which is very important and challenging. The micro-structure of woven fabrics leads to significantly different shear reaction from other sheet materials, which has been neglected in previous approaches of cloth simulation. Therefore, it is beneficial for cloth simulation to model the shear buc...
