ASYMPTOTIC TRANSITION FROM COSSERAT ROD TO STRING MODELS FOR CURVED VISCOUS INERTIAL JETS [PDF]
Mathematical Models and Methods in Applied Sciences, 2011 This work deals with the modeling and simulation of slender viscous jets exposed to gravity and rotation, as they occur in rotational spinning processes. In terms of slender-body theory, we show the asymptotic reduction of a viscous Cosserat rod to a string system for vanishing slenderness parameter. We propose two string models, i.e.

A model of a general elastic curved rod
Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, 2002 AbstractWe indicate a new approach to the deformation of three‐dimensional curved rods with variable cross‐section. The model consists of a system of nine ordinary differential equations for which we prove existence and uniqueness via the coercivity of the association bilinear form.

Mechanics and dynamics of translocating MreB filaments on curved membranes
eLife, 2019 MreB is an actin homolog that is essential for coordinating the cell wall synthesis required for the rod shape of many bacteria. Previously we have shown that filaments of MreB bind to the curved membranes of bacteria and translocate in directions ...

Abnormal photoreceptor outer segment development and early retinal degeneration in kif3a mutant zebrafish [PDF]
, 2016 Photoreceptors are highly specialized sensory neurons that possess a modified primary cilium called the outer segment. Photoreceptor outer segment formation and maintenance require highly active protein transport via a process known as intraflagellar ...
