The Effects of Intra-membrane Viscosity on Lipid Membrane Morphology: Complete Analytical Solution
Download2018-12-15
We present a linear theory of lipid membranes which accommodates the effects of intra-membrane viscosity into the model of deformations. Within the Monge parameterization, a linearized version of the shape equation describing membrane morphology is derived. Admissible boundary conditions are...

A comparative study between optimal metal and composite rotors for flywheel energy storage systems
Download2018-01-01
Most recent research on flywheel rotors has focused on high-speed composite rotors as the storage element of the flywheel energy storage system (FESS). Literature research indicates that this is primarily due to the high specific energy of composites compared to metals. However, a quantitative...

We examine the transient evolution of a negatively buoyant, laminar plume in an emptying filling box containing a uniform porous medium. In the long time limit, the box is partitioned into two uniform layers of different densities. However, the approach towards steady state is characterized by a...

Resilient Estimation and Control on k-Nearest Neighbor Platoons: A Network-Theoretic Approach
Download2018-01-01
Pirani, Mohammad, Hashemi, Ehsan, Fidan, Baris, Simpson-Porco, John W., Sandberg, Henrik, Johansson, Karl Henrik
This paper is concerned with the network-theoretic properties of so-called k-nearest neighbor intelligent vehicular platoons, where each vehicle communicates with k vehicles, both in front and behind. The network-theoretic properties analyzed in this paper play major roles in quantifying the...

Ma, Y., Flynn, M.R. and B.R. Sutherland
We experimentally investigate the behaviour of a line-source plume falling through a finite two-layer stratified ambient where the depth of the upper ambient layer increases in time. Laboratory observations suggest one of two possible flow regimes depending on the value of 𝜆 , which represents...

Sahuri, R., Kaminski A.K., Flynn M.R. and M. Ungarish
Numerous studies have considered the flow of a rectilinear, high Reynolds number, Boussinesq gravity current through a two-layer stratified ambient, however, far less is known concerning the analogue axisymmetric problem. Whereas in both instances there is the possibility of a dynamic coupling...

Gradient elasticity theory for fiber composites with fibers resistant to extension and flexure
Download2018-07-03
A model for the mechanics of an elastic solid, reinforced with bidirectional fibers is presented in finite plane elastostatics. The fiber’s resistance to stretch and flexure are accounted for with variational computations of first and second gradient of deformations, respectively. Within the...
