Mechanics to Manifolds I. An Introduction to Mechanics

This seminar is the first in a series of three which aim to explain some of the connections between Mechanics and Geometry. This first is very much focused on the Physics end. The aim of this talk is to be an introduction to Mechanics. There are a few theories of Mechanics, and it can sometimes be hard to separate them in the literature and applications. There are three main principles behind t...

An introduction to the mechanics of DNA.

This article gives an overview of recent research on the mechanical properties and spatial deformations of the DNA molecule. Globally the molecule behaves like a uniform elastic rod, and its twisting and writhing govern its compaction and packaging within a cell. Meanwhile high mechanical stresses can induce structural transitions of DNA giving, for example, a phase diagram in the space of the ...
