Braiding Dynamics in Semiflexible Filament Bundles under Oscillatory Forcing

We examine the nonequilibrium production of topological defects—braids—in semiflexible filament bundles under cycles of compression and tension. During these cycles, the period of compression facilitates the thermally activated pair production of braid/anti-braid pairs, which then may separate when...
