Solid drops: large capillary deformations of immersed elastic rods.
Under the effect of surface tension, a blob of liquid adopts a spherical shape when immersed in another fluid. We demonstrate experimentally that soft, centimeter-size elastic solids can exhibit a similar behavior: when immersed into a liquid, a gel having a low elastic modulus undergoes large, reversible deformations. We analyze three fundamental types of deformations of a slender elastic soli...
متن کاملTwirling and whirling: viscous dynamics of rotating elastic filaments.
Motivated by diverse phenomena in cellular biophysics, including bacterial flagellar motion and DNA transcription and replication, we study the overdamped nonlinear dynamics of a rotationally forced filament with twist and bend elasticity. Competition between twist injection, twist diffusion, and writhing instabilities is described by coupled PDEs for twist and bend evolution. Analytical and nu...
متن کاملLocalized and extended deformations of elastic shells.
The dried raisin, the crushed soda can, and the collapsed bicycle inner tube exemplify the nonlinear mechanical response of naturally curved elastic surfaces with different intrinsic curvatures to a variety of different external loads. To understand the formation and evolution of these features in a minimal setting, we consider a simple assay: the response of curved surfaces to point indentatio...
متن کاملUnderstanding Perception of Simulated Elastic Deformations
In this project, my goal was to enhance the understanding of human perception of computationally simulated elastically deforming objects. Control parameters for existing computational models of elastic materials do not map intuitively to visually salient properties of elastic objects and phenomena, which makes their use by non-experts difficult. I conduct a set of two exploratory perceptual stu...
متن کاملModeling and control of a cable-driven series elastic actuator
Series elastic actuators (SEA) are playing an increasingly important role in the fields of physical human-robot interaction. This paper focuses on the modeling and control of a cable-driven SEA. First, the scheme of the cable-driven SEA has been proposed, and a velocity controlled DC motor has been used as its power source. Based on this, the model of the cable-driven SEA has been built up. Fur...
