Writhing and hockling instabilities in twisted elastic fibers
Adam Fortais, Elsie Loukiantchenko, Kari Dalnoki-Veress
The buckling and twisting of slender, elastic fibers is a deep and well-studied field. A slender elastic rod that is twisted with respect to a fixed end will spontaneously form a l…
Liquid droplets on a free-standing glassy membrane: deformation through the glass transition
Adam Fortais, Rafael D. Schulman, Kari Dalnoki-Veress
In this study, micro-droplets are placed on thin, glassy, free-standing films where the Laplace pressure of the droplet deforms the free-standing film, creating a bulge. The film's…
Elastocapillary bending of microfibers around liquid droplets
Rafael D. Schulman, Amir Porat, Kathleen Charlesworth +4
We report on the elastocapillary deformation of flexible microfibers in contact with liquid droplets. A fiber is observed to bend more as the size of the contacting droplet is incr…
