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-induced marginality in plastically deformed crystals

Oguz Umut Salman, Aylin Ahadi, Lev Truskinovsky

Quasi-brittle plastic yielding is a salient feature of well-annealed glassy materials. Here we show that the same behavior is characteristic of perfect crystals after they experien…

Micro-displacement tensor

Giuseppe Zurlo, Lev Truskinovsky

We propose an extended kinematics of nominally elastic continuum solids allowing one to describe their mechanical interaction with micro-scale loading devices. The main new ingredi…

Quantifying the form-flow-saltation dynamics of aeolian sand ripples

J. M. Nield, M. C. Baddock, G. F. S. Wiggs +9

Ripples are the most fundamental and ubiquitous aeolian bedforms formed on sandy surfaces, but their small size and fast response times make them inherently difficult to measure. H…

Rare-event detection in a backward-facing-step flow using live optical-flow velocimetry: observation of an upstream jet burst

Juan Pimienta, Jean-Luc Aider

Rare and extreme events in turbulent flows play a critical role in transport, mixing and transition, yet are notoriously difficult to capture experimentally. Here we report, to our…

High Resolution and High-Speed Live Optical Flow Velocimetry

Juan Pimienta, Jean-Luc Aider

Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) typically relies on cross-correlation,which makes it difficult to obtain instantaneous velocity fields that are both spatially dense and available…
