A unified field theory of topological defects and non-linear local excitations
Vidar Skogvoll, Jonas Rønning, Marco Salvalaglio +1
Topological defects and smooth excitations determine the properties of systems showing collective order. We introduce a generic non-singular field theory that comprehensively descr…
Darcy's law of yield stress fluids on a treelike network
Vincenzo Maria Schimmenti, Federico Lanza, Alex Hansen +4
Understanding the flow of yield stress fluids in porous media is a major challenge. In particular, experiments and extensive numerical simulations report a non-linear Darcy law as…
Visualization by optical fluorescence of two-phase flow in a three-dimensional porous medium
Joachim Falck Brodin, Marcel Moura, Renaud Toussaint +2
Slow flow of a single fluid through a porous medium is well understood on a macroscopic level through Darcy's law, a linear relation between flow rate and a combination of pressure…
Fatigue and failure of a polymer chain under tension
Harish Charan, Alex Hansen, H. G. E. Hentschel +1
The rupture of a polymer chain maintained at temperature under fixed tension is prototypical to a wide array of systems failing under constant external strain and random pertur…
Substrate curvature governs texture orientation in thin films of smectic block copolymers
Bjarke Frost Nielsen, Gaute Linga, Amalie Christensen +1
Self-assembly of ordered nanometer-scale patterns is interesting in itself, but its practical value depends on the ability to predict and control pattern formation. In this paper w…
How heat controls fracture: the thermodynamics of creeping and avalanching cracks
Tom Vincent-Dospital, Renaud Toussaint, Stéphane Santucci +6
While of paramount importance in material science, the dynamics of cracks still lacks a complete physical explanation. The transition from their slow creep behavior to a fast propa…
