Fluid lipid membranes: From differential geometry to curvature stresses
M Deserno - Chemistry and physics of lipids, 2015 - Elsevier
A fluid lipid membrane transmits stresses and torques that are fully determined by its
geometry. They can be described by a stress-and torque-tensor, respectively, which yield …
