Programmable Multistable Mechanisms: Design, modeling, characterization and applications

Mohamed Gamal Abdelrahman Ahmed Zanaty

Multistable Mechanisms are mechanical devices having more than one stable state. Since these mechanisms can maintain different deformations with zero force, they are advantageous for low power environments such as wristwatches and medical devices. In this ...

Two-term, asymptotically sharp estimates for eigenvalue means of the Laplacian

Joachim Stubbe

We present asymptotically sharp inequalities for the eigenvalues mu(k) of the Laplacian on a domain with Neumann boundary conditions, using the averaged variational principle introduced in [14]. For the Riesz mean R-1(z) of the eigenvalues we improve the k ...

Bifurcation Dynamics of a Particle-Encapsulating Droplet in Shear Flow

François Gallaire, Lailai Zhu

To understand the behavior of composite fluid particles such as nucleated cells and double emulsions in flow, we study a finite-size particle encapsulated in a deforming droplet under shear flow as a model system. In addition to its concentric particle-dro ...

Identification of a Predator-Prey System from Simulation Data of a Convection Model

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven

The use of low-dimensional dynamical systems as reduced models for plasma dynamics is useful as solving an initial value problem requires much less computational resources than fluid simulations. We utilize a data-driven modeling approach to identify a red ...

Dynamical Behavior and Stability Analysis of Hydromechanical Gates

Paolo Perona, Fabian Alexander Bernhard

This study revisits the stability of hydromechanical gates for upstream water surface regulation, also known as AMIL gates. AMIL gates are used in irrigation canals, where they are often installed in series. From the regulation perspective, instabilities a ...

Phase Bifurcation and Zero Reflection in Planar Plasmonic Metasurfaces

Olivier Martin, Chen Yan

We introduce a general formalism combining the coupled oscillator model with the transfer matrix method to analyze and engineer the phase of the light reflected from a Fano-resonant metasurface. This method accounts for periodicity and the presence of subs ...

Higher-order continuation method for the rigid-body kinematic design of compliant mechanisms

Simon Nessim Henein, Lennart Rubbert

Compliant mechanisms are of great interest in precision engineering. In this paper we propose a higher order continuation method to help their rigid-body kinematic design. The method helps to investigate the choice of a mechanism configuration through the ...

Bidirectional motion of filaments: the role of motor proteins and passive cross linkers

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

In eukaryotic cells, motor proteins (MPs) bind to cytoskeletal filaments and move along them in a directed manner generating active stresses. During cell division a spindle structure of overlapping antiparallel microtubules forms whose stability and dynami ...

On the stability and dynamics of stochastic spiking neuron models: Nonlinear Hawkes process and point process GLMs

Joao Emanuel Felipe Gerhard, Moritz Deger

Point process generalized linear models (PP-GLMs) provide an important statistical framework for modeling spiking activity in single-neurons and neuronal networks. Stochastic stability is essential when sampling from these models, as done in computational ...

Bifurcation points of a singular boundary-value problem on (0,1)

Charles Stuart

Following earlier work on some special cases [17,11] and on the analogous problem in higher dimensions [10,20], we make a more thorough investigation of the bifurcation points for a nonlinear boundary value problem of the form -{A(x)u' (x)}'.= f (lambda, x ...
