Modeling a two-link rigid swimmer scalloping in linear viscoelastic fluid
… fluid. Because the oscillation of the slender rods that comprise the links of the swimmer elicit a response from the surrounding fluid at various frequencies, the modeling consisted of a complex Fourier analysis. This paper discusses in detail the physics of the specimen's swimming and …

Confined wrinkling of thin elastic rods, sheets and cones
… with a central hole, cone and conical frustum. Rods and planar sheets are initially buckled into their first mode by applying a small axial displacement. Confinement is achieved by placing the buckled sheet between two parallel rigid plates, which are gradually moved towards each other until the …
