Flow-induced buckling of elastic microfilaments with non-uniform bending stiffness

Buckling plays a critical role in the transport and dynamics of elastic microfilaments in Stokesian fluids. However, previous work has only considered filaments with homogeneous structural properties. Filament backbone stiffness can be non-uniform in many biological systems like microtubules, where...
