The dynamics of viscous and elastic threads.
This thesis simultaneously deals with elastic and viscous rods. Their dynamics is ruled by the same set of equations (Kirchhoff equations) despite a difference in... -
Curling dynamics of naturally curved surfaces : axisymmetric bio-membranes an...
Curling deformation of thin elastic surfaces appears in numerous natural and man-made structures where a spontaneous curvature is present. In this thesis, we couple...
