| Squeezed helical elastica
Lila Bouzar, Martin Michael Müller, Pierre Gosselin, Igor M. Kulić, Hervé Mohrbach |
We theoretically study the conformations of a helical semi-flexible filament
confined to a two-dimensional surface. This squeezed helix exhibits a variety of unexpected shapes
resembling circles, waves or spirals depending on the material parameters. We explore the conformation
space in detail and show that the shapes can be understood as the mutual elastic interaction of
conformational quasi-particles. Our theoretical results are potentially useful to
determine the material parameters of such helical filaments in an experimental setting.

| Non-linear buckling and symmetry breaking of a soft elastic sheet sliding on a cylindrical substrate
Norbert Stoop, Martin Michael Müller |
We consider the axial compression of a thin sheet wrapped around a rigid cylindrical substrate. In contrast to the wrinkling-to-fold transitions exhibited in similar systems, we find that the sheet always buckles into a single symmetric fold, while periodic solutions are unstable. Upon further compression, the solution breaks symmetry and stabilizes into a recumbent fold. Using linear analysis and numerics, we theoretically predict the buckling force and energy as a function of the compressive displacement. We compare our theory to experiments employing cylindrical neoprene sheets and find remarkably good agreement.

| Confotronic dynamics of tubular filaments
Osman Kahraman, Hervé Mohrbach, Martin Michael Müller, Igor M. Kulić |
Tubular lattices are ubiquitous in nature and technology. Microtubules and nanotubes of all
kinds act as important pillars of biological cells and the man-made nano-world. We show that
when prestress is introduced in such structures, localized conformational quasiparticles emerge and
govern the collective shape dynamics of the lattice. When coupled via cooperative interactions these
quasiparticles form larger-scale quasipolymer superstructures exhibiting collective dynamic modes
and giving rise to a hallmark behavior radically different from semiflexible beams.

| Whirling skirts and rotating cones
Jemal Guven, J. A. Hanna, Martin Michael Müller |
Steady, dihedrally symmetric patterns with sharp peaks may be observed on a spinning skirt, lagging behind the material flow of the fabric. These qualitative features are captured with a minimal model of traveling waves on an inextensible, flexible, generalized-conical sheet rotating about a fixed axis. Conservation laws are used to reduce the dynamics to a quadrature describing a particle in a three-parameter family of potentials. One parameter is associated with the stress in the sheet, aNoether is the current associated with rotational invariance, and the third is a Rossby number which indicates the relative strength of Coriolis forces. Solutions are quantized by enforcing a topology appropriate to a skirt and a particular choice of dihedral symmetry. A perturbative analysis of nearly axisymmetric cones shows that Coriolis effects are essential in establishing skirt-like solutions. Fully non-linear solutions with three-fold symmetry are presented which bear a suggestive resemblance to the observed patterns.

| Self-Contact and Instabilities in the Anisotropic Growth of Elastic Membranes
Norbert Stoop, Falk K. Wittel, Martine Ben Amar, Martin Michael Müller, Hans J. Herrmann |
We investigate the morphology of thin discs and rings growing in circumferential direction. Recent analytical results suggest that this growth produces symmetric excess cones (e-cones). We study the stability of such solutions considering self-contact and bending stress. We show that, contrary to what was assumed in previous analytical solutions, beyond a critical growth factor, no symmetric e-cone solution is energetically minimal any more. Instead, we obtain skewed e-cone solutions having lower energy, characterized by a skewness angle and repetitive spiral winding with increasing growth. These results are generalized to discs with varying thickness and rings with holes of different radii.

| Elasticity Mapping of Pore-Suspending Native Cell Membranes
Bärbel Lorenz, Ingo Mey, Siegfried Steltenkamp, Tamir Fine, Christina Rommel, Martin Michael Müller, Alexander Maiwald, Joachim Wegener, Claudia Steinem, Andreas Janshoff |
The mechanics of cellular membranes is governed by a non-equilibrium composite framework
consisting of the semiflexible filamentous cytoskeleton and extracellular matrix proteins linked to
the lipid bilayer. While elasticity information of plasma membranes has mainly been obtained from
whole cell analysis, techniques that allow to address local mechanical properties of cell
membranes are desirable to learn how their lipid and protein composition is reflected in the elastic
behavior on local length scales. Here, we introduce an approach based on basolateral
membranes of polar epithelial Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) II cells, prepared on a highly ordered porous substrate that
allows elastic mapping on a submicrometer length scale. A strong correlation between the
density of actin filaments and the measured membrane elasticity is found. Spatially resolved indentation experiments carried out with atomic force and fluorescence microscope permit to relate the supramolecular structure to the elasticity of cellular membranes. It is shown that the elastic response of the pore-spanning cell membranes is governed by the local bending modules rather than the lateral tension.

| Conical Defects in Growing Sheets
Martin Michael Müller, Martine Ben Amar, Jemal Guven |
A growing or shrinking disc will adopt a conical shape, its intrinsic geometry characterized by a surplus angle φe at the apex. If growth is slow, the cone will find its equilibrium. Whereas this is trivial if φe≤0, the disc can fold into one of a discrete infinite number of states if φe is positive. We construct these states in the regime where bending dominates, determine their energies and how stress is distributed in them. For each state a critical value of φe is identified beyond which the cone touches itself. Before this occurs, all states are stable; the ground state has twofold symmetry.

| How paper folds: bending with local constraints
Jemal Guven, Martin Michael Müller |
A variational framework is introduced to describe how a surface bends when it is subject to local constraints on its geometry. This framework is applied to describe the patterns of a folded sheet of paper. The unstretchability of paper implies a constraint on the surface metric; bending is penalized by an energy quadratic in mean curvature. The local Lagrange multipliers enforcing the constraint are identified with a conserved tangential stress that couples to the extrinsic curvature of the sheet. The framework is illustrated by examining the deformation of a flat sheet into a generalized cone.

| Balancing torques in membrane-mediated interactions: Exact results and
numerical illustrations
Martin Michael Müller, Markus Deserno, Jemal Guven |
Torques on interfaces can be described by a divergence-free tensor
which is fully encoded in the geometry. This tensor consists of two
terms, one originating in the couple of the stress, the other capturing
an intrinsic contribution due to curvature. In analogy to the description
of forces in terms of a stress tensor, the torque on a particle can be
expressed as a line integral along any contour surrounding the particle.
Interactions between particles mediated by a fluid membrane are studied
within this framework. In particular, torque balance places a strong
constraint on the shape of the membrane. Symmetric two-particle
configurations admit simple analytical expressions which are valid
in the fully nonlinear regime; in particular, the problem may be
solved exactly in the case of two membrane-bound parallel cylinders.
This apparently simple system provides some flavor of the remarkably
subtle nonlinear behavior associated with membrane-mediated interactions.
