Cloaking by coating: How effectively does a thin, stiff coating hide a soft substrate?
F. Box, C. Jacquemot, M. Adda-Bedia +1
From human tissue to fruits, many soft materials are coated by a thin layer of a stiffer material. While the primary role of such a coating is often to protect the softer material,…
Limitations of curvature--induced rigidity: How a curved strip buckles under gravity
Matteo Taffetani, Finn Box, Arthur Neveu +1
The preference of thin flat sheets to bend rather than stretch, combined with results from Geometry, mean that changes in a thin sheet's Gaussian curvature are prohibitively expens…
Guided droplet transport on synthetic slippery surfaces inspired by a pitcher plant
Finn Box, Chris Thorogood, Jian Hui Guan
We show how anisotropic, grooved features facilitate the trapping and directed transport of droplets on lubricated, liquid-shedding surfaces. Capillary action pins droplets to topo…
Elasto-capillary adhesion: The effect of deformability on adhesion strength and detachment
Matthew Butler, Finn Box, Thomas Robert +1
We study the interaction between capillary forces and deformation in the context of a deformable capillary adhesive: a clamped, tense membrane is adhered to a rigid substrate by th…
Dynamic buckling of elastic rings in a soap film
Finn Box, Ousmane Kodio, Doireann O'Kiely +3
Dynamic buckling may occur when a load is rapidly applied to, or removed from, an elastic object at rest. In contrast to its static counterpart, dynamic buckling offers a wide rang…
Impact on floating thin elastic sheets: A mathematical model
Doireann O'Kiely, Finn Box, Ousmane Kodio +2
We investigate impact of a sphere onto a floating elastic sheet and the resulting formation and evolution of wrinkles in the sheet. Following impact, we observe a radially propagat…
