Tuned, driven, and active soft matter

AM Menzel - Physics reports, 2015 - Elsevier
One characteristic feature of soft matter systems is their strong response to external stimuli.
As a consequence they are comparatively easily driven out of their ground state and out of …

Red Blood Cells and Other Nonspherical Capsules in Shear Flow:<? format?> Oscillatory Dynamics and the Tank-Treading-to-Tumbling Transition

JM Skotheim, TW Secomb - Physical review letters, 2007 - APS
We consider the motion of red blood cells and other nonspherical microcapsules dilutely
suspended in a simple shear flow. Our analysis indicates that depending on the viscosity …
