A constitutive law for cross-linked actin networks by homogenization techniques

Denis Caillerie, Karin John, Chaouqi Misbah +2

Inspired by experiments on the actin driven propulsion of micrometer sized beads we develop and study a minimal mechanical model of a two-dimensional network of stiff elastic filam…

Note and calculations concerning elastic dilatancy in 2D glass-glass liquid foams

François Molino, Pierre Rognon, Cyprien Gay

When deformed, liquid foams tend to raise their liquid contents like immersed granular materials, a phenomenon called dilatancy. We have aready described a geometrical interpretati…

Instability patterns in ultrathin nematic films: comparison between theory and experiment

O. V. Manyuhina, A. -M. Cazabat, M. Ben Amar

Motivated by recent experimental observations [U. Delabre et al, Langmuir 24, 3998, 2008] we reconsider an instability of ultrathin nematic films, spread on liquid substrates. With…

Macroscopic Facilitation of Glassy Relaxation Kinetics: Ultra Stable Glass Films with Front-Like Thermal Response

Sébastien Léonard, Peter Harrowell

The recent experimental fabrication of ultra stable glass films via vapour deposition [Science 315, 353 (2007)] and the observation of front-like response to the annealing of these…

Damage in porous media due to salt crystallization

Noushine Shahidzadeh-Bonn, Julie Desarnaud, François Bertrand +2

We investigate the origins of salt damage in sandstones for the two most common salts: sodium chloride and sulfate. The results show that the observed difference in damage between…

Investigation of shear banding in three-dimensional foams

Guillaume Ovarlez, Kapil Krishan, Sylvie Cohen-Addad

We study the steady flow properties of different three-dimensional aqueous foams in a wide gap Couette geometry. From local velocity measurements through Magnetic Resonance Imaging…
