The mechanical response of fire ant rafts
Robert J. Wagner, Samuel Lamont, Zachary T. White +1
Fire ants (Solenopsis invicta) cohesively aggregate via the formation of voluntary ant-to-ant attachments when under confinement or exposed to water. Once formed, these aggregation…
Force-dependent bond dissociation explains the rate-dependent fracture of vitrimers
Zhaoqiang Song, Tong Shen, Franck J. Vernerey +1
We investigate the rate-dependent fracture of vitrimers by conducting a tear test. Based on the relationship between the frac-ture energy and the thickness of vitrimer films, we, f…
Collective treadmilling in fire ant rafts permits sustained protrusion growth
Robert J. Wagner, Kristen Such, Ethan Hobbs +1
Condensed active matter is exemplary for its capacity to morph and exhibit internal flows despite remaining cohered. To facilitate understanding of this ability, we investigate the…
