Patterns in Flowing Sand: Understanding the Physics of Granular Flow
Tamas Borzsonyi, Robert E. Ecke, Jim N. McElwaine
Dense granular flows are often unstable and form inhomogeneous structures. Although significant advances have been recently made in understanding simple flows, instabilities of suc…
Out-of-equilibrium processes in suspensions of oppositely charged colloids: liquid-to-crystal nucleation and gel formation
Eduardo Sanz, Chantal Valeriani, Teun Vissers +5
We study the kinetics of the liquid-to-crystal transformation and of gel formation in colloidal suspensions of oppositely charged particles. We analyse, by means of both computer s…
Strain-induced alignment in collagen gels
D. Vader, A. Kabla, D. Weitz +1
Collagen is the most abundant extracellular-network-forming protein in animal biology and is important in both natural and artificial tissues, where it serves as a material of grea…
Statics and inertial dynamics of a ruck in a rug
Dominic Vella, Arezki Boudaoud, Mokhtar Adda-Bedia
We consider the familiar problem of a bump, or ruck, in a rug. Under lateral compression, a rug bends out of the plane forming a ruck -- a localized region in which it is no longer…
Simple models for two-dimensional tunable colloidal crystals in rotating ac electric fields
Nils Elsner, C. Patrick Royall, Brian Vincent +1
We compare the behavior of a new two-dimensional aqueous colloidal model system with a simple numerical treatment. To the first order the attractive interaction between the colloid…
Buckling of semiflexible filaments under compression
J. R. Blundell, E. M. Terentjev
A model for filament buckling at finite temperatures is presented. Starting from the classical worm-like chain model under constant compression, we use a mean-field approach for fi…
