Tuning Synthetic Semiflexible Networks by Bending Stiffness [PDF]
The mechanics of complex soft matter often cannot be understood in the classical physical frame of flexible polymers or rigid rods. The underlying constituents are semiflexible polymers, whose finite bending stiffness ($ $) leads to non-trivial mechanical responses. A natural model for such polymers is the protein actin.

Bending Rigidity and Gaussian Bending Stiffness of Single-Layered Graphene [PDF]
Bending rigidity and Gaussian bending stiffness are the two key parameters that govern the rippling of suspended graphene-an unavoidable phenomenon of two-dimensional materials when subject to a thermal or mechanical field. A reliable determination about these two parameters is of significance for both the design and the manipulation of graphene ...

Fluctuating semiflexible polymer ribbon constrained to a ring [PDF]
Twist stiffness and an asymmetric bending stiffness of a polymer or a polymer bundle is captured by the elastic ribbon model. We investigate the effects a ring geometry induces to a thermally fluctuating ribbon, finding bend-bend coupling in addition to ...

Relationship of structure and stiffness in laminated bamboo composites [PDF]
Laminated bamboo in structural applications has the potential to change the way buildings are constructed. The fibrous microstructure of bamboo can be modelled as a fibre-reinforced composite.

Curvature-induced stiffening of a fish fin [PDF]
How fish modulate their fin stiffness during locomotive manoeuvres remains unknown. We show that changing the fin's curvature modulates its stiffness. Modelling the fin as bendable bony rays held together by a membrane, we deduce that fin curvature is ...
