Elastic interactions between two-dimensional geometric defects.
In this paper, we introduce a methodology applicable to a wide range of localized two-dimensional sources of stress. This methodology is based on a geometric formulation of elasticity. Localized sources of stress are viewed as singular defects-point charges of the curvature associated with a reference metric. The stress field in the presence of defects can be solved using a scalar stress functi...
متن کاملElastic interactions between topological defects in chiral nematic shells.
We present a self-consistent and robust theoretical model to investigate elastic interactions between topological defects in liquid crystal shells. Accounting for the nonconcentric nature of the shell in a simple manner, we are able to successfully and accurately explain and predict the positions of the defects, most relevant in the context of colloidal self-assembly. We calibrate and test our ...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional elastic turbulence.
We report numerical evidence of elastic turbulence phenomenology in a two-dimensional periodic Kolmogorov flow. By direct numerical simulations of the Oldroyd-B viscoelastic model at very small Reynolds numbers, we find that above the elastic instability threshold the flow develops an elastic turbulent regime. We observe that both the turbulent drag and the Lyapunov exponent increase with the W...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional graphene with structural defects: elastic mean free path, minimum conductivity, and Anderson transition.
Quantum transport properties of disordered graphene with structural defects (Stone-Wales and divacancies) are investigated using a realistic π-π* tight-binding model elaborated from ab initio calculations. Mean free paths and semiclassical conductivities are then computed as a function of the nature and density of defects (using an order-N real-space Kubo-Greenwood method). By increasing the de...
متن کاملInteractions between two-dimensional composite vector solitons carrying topological charges.
We present a comprehensive study of interactions (collisions) between two-dimensional composite vector solitons carrying topological charges in isotropic saturable nonlinear media. We numerically study interactions between such composite solitons for different regimes of collision angle and report numerous effects which are caused solely by the "spin" (topological charge) carried by the second ...
