Abstract: Cell membranes are made of rod-like fat molecules that form a protective shell-like enclosure around its organelles and genome. In most cells, the surface of the membrane is embedded with a... Read more
Abstract: The life sciences provide archetypical examples of nonlinear systems for which an accurate understanding of dynamics is essential but for which models derived from first principles are not... Read more
Abstract: This talk will describe the behavior of very slender structures in which weight and elastic stiffness compete with each to determine equilibrium shapes and associated vibration behavior... Read more
