Collective motion dynamics of active solids and active crystals
We introduce a simple model of self-propelled particles connected by linear springs that describes a semi-rigid formation of active agents without explicit alignment rules. The model displays a discontinuous transition at a critical noise level, below which the group self-organizes into a collectively translating or rotating state. We identify a novel elasticity-based mechanism that cascades se...
متن کاملElasticity-driven collective motion in active solids and active crystals
We introduce a simple model of self-propelled agents connected by linear springs, with no explicit alignment rules. Below a critical noise level, the agents self-organize into a collectively translating or rotating group. We derive analytical stability conditions for the translating state in an elastic sheet approximation. We propose an elasticity-based mechanism that drives convergence to coll...
متن کاملGeometric control of active collective motion.
Recent experimental studies have shown that confinement can profoundly affect self-organization in semi-dilute active suspensions, leading to striking features such as the formation of steady and spontaneous vortices in circular domains and the emergence of unidirectional pumping motions in periodic racetrack geometries. Motivated by these findings, we analyze the two-dimensional dynamics in co...
متن کاملCollective dynamics of active filament complexes.
Networks of biofilaments are essential for the formation of cellular structures that support various biological functions. For the most part, previous studies have investigated the collective dynamics of rodlike biofilaments; however, the shapes of the actual subcellular components are often more elaborate. In this study, we considered an active object composed of two active filaments, which re...
متن کاملCollective dynamics of soft active particles.
We present a model of soft active particles that leads to a rich array of collective behavior found also in dense biological swarms of bacteria and other unicellular organisms. Our model uses only local interactions, such as Vicsek-type nearest-neighbor alignment, short-range repulsion, and a local boundary term. Changing the relative strength of these interactions leads to migrating swarms, ro...
