Nonlinear dynamic intertwining of rods with self-contact [PDF]
Twisted marine cables on the sea floor can form highly contorted three-dimensional loops that resemble tangles. Such tangles or hockles are topologically equivalent to the plectomenes that form in supercoiled DNA molecules. The dynamic evolution of these

Intraductal Tissue Sampling Device Designed for the Biliary Tract
Clinical sampling of tissue that is read by a pathologist is currently the gold standard for making a disease diagnosis, but the few minimally invasive techniques available for small duct biopsies have low sensitivity, increasing the likelihood of false ...

Helical buckling in columnar assemblies of soft discotic mesogens [PDF]
We investigate the emergence of chiral meso-structures in one-dimensional fluids consisting of stacked discotic particles and demonstrate that helical undulations are generated spontaneously from internal elastic stresses. The stability of these helical conformations arises from an interplay between long-ranged soft repulsions and nanopore confinement ...

Flow-Induced Helical Coiling of Semiflexible Polymers in Structured Microchannels [PDF]
The conformations of semiflexible (bio)polymers are studied in flow through geometrically structured microchannels. Using mesoscale hydrodynamics simulations, we show that the polymer undergoes a rod-to-helix transition as it moves from the narrow high ...

Erosion Factor Analysis of Coiled Tubing with Helical Buckling
During coiled tubing(CT)operations,a wide annulus between CT and casing may lead to helical buckling and serious erosion of the CT inner wall.The inner wall erosion of CT with helical buckling was investigated through physical experiment and numerical ...

Nucleation of Multiple Buckled Structures in Intertwined DNA Double Helices [PDF]
We study the statistical-mechanical properties of intertwined double-helical DNAs (DNA braids). In magnetic tweezers experiments we find that torsionally-stressed stretched braids supercoil via an abrupt buckling transition, which is associated with nucleation of a braid end loop, and that the buckled braid is characterized by proliferation of multiple

Helical buckling of a whirling conducting rod in a uniform magnetic field
We study the effect of a magnetic field on the behaviour of a conducting elastic rod subject to a novel set of boundary conditions that, in the case of a transversely isotropic rod, give rise to exact helical post-buckling solutions.
