Dynamics of viscoelastic snap-through
- M. Gomez, D. Moulton, D. Vella
- Physics
- 16 July 2018
Abstract We study the dynamics of snap-through when viscoelastic effects are present. To gain analytical insight we analyse a modified form of the Mises truss, a single-degree-of-freedom structure,… Expand
Ghosts and bottlenecks in elastic snap-through
- M. Gomez
- Physics
- 2018
Snap-through is a striking instability in which an elastic object rapidly jumps from one state to another. It is seen in the leaves of the Venus flytrap plant and umbrellas flipping on a windy day… Expand

Critical slowing down in purely elastic 'snap-through' instabilities
- M. Gomez, D. Moulton, D. Vella
- Physics
- 13 September 2016
Critical phenomena are well understood in a wide range of physical systems. The dynamics of snap-through instabilities, a widespread phenomenon in their own right, are now shown to display critical… Expand
Passive Control of Viscous Flow via Elastic Snap-Through.
- M. Gomez, D. Moulton, Dominic Vella

- Physical review letters
- 19 August 2017
We demonstrate the passive control of viscous flow in a channel by using an elastic arch embedded in the flow. Depending on the fluid flux, the arch may "snap" between two states-constricting and… Expand
The shallow shell approach to Pogorelov's problem and the breakdown of ‘mirror buckling’
- M. Gomez, D. Moulton, D. Vella
- Physics, Medicine
- Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical…
- 1 March 2016
We present a detailed asymptotic analysis of the point indentation of an unpressurized, spherical elastic shell. Previous analyses of this classic problem have assumed that for sufficiently large… Expand
Skill of ensemble flood inundation forecasts at short- to medium-range timescales
Abstract We investigate the ability to improve flood inundation forecasts at short- to medium-range (1–7 days) timescales through weather ensembles and statistical water surface elevation (WSE)… Expand

Scanning and modeling for non-standard edge geometry endmills
- T. No, M. Gomez, Ryan W. Copenhaver, Juan Uribe Perez, Christopher T. Tyler, T. L. Schmitz
- Materials Science
- 2019
Abstract This paper describes a reverse engineering solution for modeling the behavior of non-standard edge geometry endmills. Structured light scanning is used to produce a solid model of the… Expand
Delayed pull-in transitions in overdamped MEMS devices
- M. Gomez, D. Moulton, D. Vella
- Physics, Materials Science
- 28 October 2017
We consider the dynamics of overdamped MEMS devices undergoing the pull-in instability. Numerous previous experiments and numerical simulations have shown a significant increase in the pull-in time… Expand
