Local curvature.

Joint probability distribution of the local curvature of the membrane κ/κ_ref (κ_ref is the reference curvature of the circular free membrane) and the local pressure P exerted by the swimmers on the membrane. The three panels refer to three different swimmers density, ϕ = 0.16 (left), 0.51 (middle) and 0.83 (right). Data correspond to the case of elongated swimmers and a membrane of N_b = 100 beads.
