A physical model for the popsicle stick cobra

open access: yesEmergent Scientist, 2017
Popsicle stick bombs are easy-to-build wooden constructions that probably reminisce a few funny moments of our childhood. In this work we look deeper in the travelling wave and we examine which parameters affect the height of the wave and how.

Actin dynamics and the elasticity of cytoskeletal networks

open access: yeseXPRESS Polymer Letters, 2009
The structural integrity of a cell depends on its cytoskeleton, which includes an actin network. This network is transient and depends upon the continual polymerization and depolymerization of actin.

Structure of fluctuating thin sheets under random forcing

open access: yesPhysical Review Research, 2022
We propose a mathematical model to describe the athermal fluctuations of thin sheets driven by the type of random driving that might be experienced prior to weak crumpling.

Magnetar QPOs and Neutron Star Crust Elasticity

open access: yesUniverse
The crust region is a tiny fraction of neutron stars, but it has a variety of physical properties and plays an important role in astronomical observations. One of the properties characterizing the crust is elasticity. In this review, with the approach of

DeepGreen: deep learning of Green’s functions for nonlinear boundary value problems

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Boundary value problems (BVPs) play a central role in the mathematical analysis of constrained physical systems subjected to external forces. Consequently, BVPs frequently emerge in nearly every engineering discipline and span problem domains including ...

The Theories of Rubber Elasticity and the Goodness of Their Constitutive Stress–Strain Equations

open access: yesPhyschem
One of the most important challenges in polymer science is a rigorous understanding of the molecular mechanisms of rubber elasticity by relating macroscopic deformation to molecular changes and deriving the constitutive stress–strain equation for the ...

Dependence on a parameter in continuum mechanics [PDF]

open access: yesRendiconti di Matematica e delle Sue Applicazioni, 2000
In this paper is pointed out the special meaning of some parameters which are present in the constitutive relations of Continuum Mechanics. They make possible to characterize some important properties such as incompressibility and rigidity.
