The magneto-elastica: from self-buckling to self-assembly.
Spherical neodymium-iron-boron magnets are permanent magnets that can be assembled into a variety of structures owing to their high magnetic strength. A one-dimensional chain of these magnets responds to mechanical loadings in a manner reminiscent of an elastic rod. We investigate the macroscopic mechanical properties of assemblies of ferromagnetic spheres by considering chains, rings and chira...
متن کاملLocalized buckling of a floating elastica.
We study the buckling of a two-dimensional elastica floating on a bath of dense fluid, subjected to axial compression. The sinusoidal pattern predicted by the analysis of linear stability is shown to become localized above the buckling threshold. A nonlinear amplitude equation is derived for the envelope of the pattern. These results provide a simple interpretation to the wrinkle-to-fold transi...
متن کاملSelf-Assembly: From Nanoscale to Microscale Colloids
Self-assembly is a fundamental mechanism by which structures form in materials. Over the past decades, a primary focus has been to relate materials’ behaviors to the spatial arrangement of their fundamental building blocks. These building blocks may comprise atoms, molecules, macromolecules and colloidal particles. It is well known that the same chemical substance can have vastly different prop...
متن کاملLipopeptides: from self-assembly to bioactivity.
This Feature Article discusses several classes of lipopeptide with important biomedical applications as antimicrobial and antifungal agents, in immune therapies and in personal care applications among others. Two main classes of lipopeptide are considered: (i) bacterially-expressed lipopeptides with a cyclic peptide headgroup and (ii) linear lipopeptides (with one or more lipid chains) based on...
متن کاملSwarm Robots: From Self-assembly to Locomotion
Inspired by the swarm behaviours of social insects, research into the self-assembly of swarm robots has become an attractive issue in the robotic community. Unfortunately, there are very few platforms for self-assembly and locomotion in the field of swarm robotics. The Sambot is a novel self-assembling modular robot that shares characteristics with swarm robots and self-reconfigurable robots. E...
