From Active to Odd to Smart Matter
Olivier Dauchot
The study of active matter has reshaped our understanding of collective states of matter far from equilibrium by proving that energy pumped into the microscopic scale leads to orde…
Fracture initiation in silicate glasses via a universal shear localization mechanism
Matthieu Bourguignon, Gustavo Alberto Rosales-Sosa, Yoshinari Kato +6
Shear bands lie at the root of fracture initiation in bulk metallic glasses and amorphous polymers. For silicate glasses, in contrast, studies have largely emphasized permanent vol…
Clogging of cohesive particles in a two-dimensional hopper
Johnathan Hoggarth, Pablo E. Illing, Eric R. Weeks +1
We study clogging of cohesive particles in a 2D hopper with experiments and simulations. The system consists of buoyant, monodisperse oil droplets in an aqueous solution, where the…
Probing the Microscopic Origin of Toughness in Multiple Polymer Networks
Nicholas H. P. Orr, Magali Le Goff, Burebi Yiming +6
Multiple polymer networks, such as double-network elastomers comprising a sacrificial and a matrix network, exhibit exceptional mechanical resilience, commonly attributed to the fo…
Self-organization, Memory and Learning: From Driven Disordered Systems to Living Matter
Muhittin Mungan, Eric Clement, Damien Vandembroucq +1
Disordered systems subject to a fluctuating environment can self-organize into a complex history-dependent response, retaining a memory of the driving. In sheared amorphous solids,…
Anisotropic shrinkage and finite strains in confined frictional contacts
Marco Ceglie, Cosimo Mandriota, Giuseppe Carbone +2
We report on an experimental investigation of the interplay between friction, contact geometry and finite strains for smooth frictional contacts between rigid spherical glass probe…
