How a curved elastic strip opens.
An elastic strip is transversely clamped in a curved frame. The induced curvature decreases as the strip opens and connects to its flat natural shape. Various ribbon profiles are measured and the scaling law for the opening length validates a description where the in-plane stretching gradually relaxes the bending stress. An analytical model of the strip profile is proposed and a quantitative ag...
متن کاملRelaxed Elastic Line on a Curved Surface
In an effort to begin to understand the mechanics of various forms of biologically packaged DNA, we develop the Euler-Lagrange equations for the equilibrium path of an elastic line constrained to a surface but otherwise relaxed. We find, in contrast to a statement by Hilbert and Cohn-Vossen [1], that whether or not the solutions are geodesic curves of the surface depends on the boundary conditi...
متن کاملAveraged Motion of Charged Particles in a Curved Strip
This paper is concerned with the motion of electrically charged particles in \curved" inn-nite strip. The equations of motion are ' = with initial and boundary conditions, where ' is the electric potential, is the particle trajectory, P is the charge distribution, and J is the Jacobian. The lower boundary ? 0 of the strip is grounded. Therefore, once a particle reaches ? 0 ; it loses its charge...
متن کاملHow a DNA polymerase clamp loader opens a sliding clamp.
Processive chromosomal replication relies on sliding DNA clamps, which are loaded onto DNA by pentameric clamp loader complexes belonging to the AAA+ family of adenosine triphosphatases (ATPases). We present structures for the ATP-bound state of the clamp loader complex from bacteriophage T4, bound to an open clamp and primer-template DNA. The clamp loader traps a spiral conformation of the ope...
متن کاملFinite indentation of highly curved elastic shells
Experimentally measuring the elastic properties of thin biological surfaces is non-trivial, particularly when they are curved. One technique that may be used is the indentation of a thin sheet of material by a rigid indenter, while measuring the applied force and displacement. This gives immediate information on the fracture strength of the material (from the force required to puncture), but it...
