Energetics of lipid bilayers with applications to deformations induced by inclusions [PDF]
, 2013 A new energy for the description of large deformations of lipid bilayers is formulated with mathematical rigor. This energy is derived by considering the smectic A liquid crystalline nature of lipid bilayers and the coupling between the deformations of ...
