Peeling from a liquid
Deepak Kumar, Nuoya Zhou, Fabian Brau +2
We establish the existence of a cusp in the curvature of a solid sheet at its contact with a liquid subphase. We study two configurations in floating sheets where the solid-vapor-l…
Delamination from an adhesive sphere: Curvature-induced dewetting versus buckling
Finn Box, Lucie Domino, Tiago Outerelo Corvo +4
Everyday experience confirms the tendency of adhesive films to detach from spheroidal regions of rigid substrates -- what is a petty frustration when placing a sticky bandage onto…
How viscous bubbles collapse: topological and symmetry-breaking instabilities in curvature-driven hydrodynamics
Benny Davidovitch, Avraham Klein
The duality between deformations of elastic bodies and non-inertial flows in viscous liquids has been a guiding principle in decades of research. However, this duality is broken wh…
Effect of external tension on the wetting of an elastic sheet
Gregory Kozyreff, Benny Davidovitch, S. Ganga Prasath +2
Recent studies of elasto-capillary phenomena have triggered interest in a basic variant of the classical Young-Laplace-Dupré (YLD) problem: The capillary interaction between a liqu…
Van der Waals interaction affects wrinkle formation in two-dimensional materials
Pablo Ares, Yi Bo Wang, Colin R. Woods +5
Nonlinear mechanics of solids is an exciting field that encompasses both beautiful mathematics, such as the emergence of instabilities and the formation of complex patterns, as wel…
Stretching Hookean ribbons Part II: from buckling instability to far-from-threshold wrinkle pattern
Meng Xin, Benny Davidovitch
We address the fully-developed wrinkle pattern formed upon stretching a Hookean, rectangular-shaped sheet, when the longitudinal tensile load induces transverse compression that fa…
