Dynamics of elastic interactions in soft and biological matter.
Cells probe their mechanical environment and can change the organization of their cytoskeletons when the elastic and viscous properties of their environment are modified. We use a model in which the forces exerted by small, contractile acto-myosin filaments (e.g., nascent stress fibers in stem cells) on the extracellular matrix are modeled as local force dipoles. In some cases, the strain field...
متن کاملGas bubble dynamics in soft materials.
Epstein and Plesset's seminal work on the rate of gas bubble dissolution and growth in a simple liquid is generalized to render it applicable to a gas bubble embedded in a soft elastic solid. Both the underlying diffusion equation and the expression for the gas bubble pressure were modified to allow for the non-zero shear modulus of the medium. The extension of the diffusion equation results in...
متن کاملOnsager's Variational Principle in Soft Matter Dynamics
In soft matter, many equations have been proposed to describe the complex behavior of the system in non-equilibrium state. Examples are (i) the phase separation kinetics (model H) : the coupled equations for the component diffusion and the fluid flow, (ii) the gel dynamics: the coupled equation for the permeation of solvent and the deformation of gel, (iii) nemato-hydrodynamics: the equations d...
متن کاملSlow dynamics in glassy soft matter
Measuring, characterizing and modelling the slow dynamics of glassy soft matter is a great challenge, with an impact that ranges from industrial applications to fundamental issues in modern statistical physics, such as the glass transition and the description of out-of-equilibrium systems. Although our understanding of these phenomena is still far from complete, recent simulations and novel the...
متن کاملRevealing hidden dynamics within living soft matter.
In the study of living soft matter, we often seek to understand the mechanisms underlying the motion of a single molecule, an organelle, or some other tracer. The experimentally observed signature of the tracer is masked by its thermal fluctuations, inherent drift of the system, and instrument noise. In addition, the timing or length scales of the events of interest are often unknown. In the cu...
