The response of jammed packings to thermal fluctuations
Q. Wu, T. Bertrand, M. D. Shattuck +1
We focus on the response of mechanically stable (MS) packings of frictionless, bidisperse disks to thermal fluctuations, with the aim of quantifying how nonlinearities affect syste…
Quasi-static microdroplet production in a capillary trap
M. Valet, L. -L. Pontani, A. M. Prevost +1
We have developed a method to produce aqueous microdroplets in an oil phase, based on the periodic extraction of a pending droplet across the oil/air interface. This interface form…
Mean first-passage time of an anisotropic diffusive searcher
Nicolas Levernier, Olivier Bénichou, Raphaël Voituriez
We consider an anisotropic needle-like Brownian particle with nematic symmetry confined in a domain. For this system, the coupling of translational and rotational diffusion ma…
Non-Markovian closure kinetics of flexible polymers with hydrodynamic interactions
Nicolas Levernier, Maxim Dolgushev, Olivier Bénichou +3
This paper presents a theoretical analysis of the closure kinetics of a polymer with hydrodynamic interactions. This analysis, which takes into account the non-Markovian dynamics o…
Non-Amontons-Coulomb local friction law of randomly rough contact interfaces with rubber
D. T. Nguyen, E. Wandersman, A. Prevost +3
We report on measurements of the local friction law at a multi-contact interface formed between a smooth rubber and statistically rough glass lenses, under steady state friction. U…
Mean first-passage times of non-Markovian random walkers in confinement
T. Guérin, N. Levernier, O. Bénichou +1
The first-passage time (FPT), defined as the time a random walker takes to reach a target point in a confining domain, is a key quantity in the theory of stochastic processes. Its…
