Local origin of global contact numbers in frictional ellipsoid packings
Fabian M. Schaller, Max Neudecker, Mohammad Saadatfar +3
In particulate soft matter systems the average number of contacts of a particle is an important predictor of the mechanical properties of the system. Using X-ray tomography, we…
Percolation transition by random vertex splitting of diamond networks?
Susan Nachtrab, Matthias J. F. Hoffmann, Sebastian C. Kapfer +2
We propose a statistical model defined on the three-dimensional diamond network where the splitting of randomly selected nodes leads to a spatially disordered network, with decreas…
Group Theory of Chiral Photonic Crystals with 4-fold Symmetry: Band Structure and S-Parameters of Eight-Fold Intergrown Gyroid Nets
Matthias Saba, Mark D. Turner, Klaus Mecke +2
The Single Gyroid, or srs, nanostructure has attracted interest as a circular-polarisation sensitive photonic material. We develop a group theoretical and scattering matrix method,…
Group Theory of Circular-Polarization Effects in Chiral Photonic Crystals with Four-Fold Rotation Axes, Applied to the Eight-Fold Intergrowth of Gyroid Nets
Matthias Saba, Mark D. Turner, Klaus Mecke +2
We use group or representation theory and scattering matrix calculations to derive analytical results for the band structure topology and the scattering parameters, applicable to a…
Symmetry detection of auxetic behaviour in 2D frameworks
H. Mitschke, G. E. Schroeder-Turk, K. Mecke +2
A symmetry-extended Maxwell treatment of the net mobility of periodic bar-and-joint frameworks is used to derive a sufficient condition for auxetic behaviour of a 2D material. The…
Network-like propagation of cell-level stress in random foams
Myfanwy E. Evans, Andrew M. Kraynik, Douglas A. Reinelt +2
Quasistatic simple shearing flow of random monodisperse soap froth is investigated by analyzing Surface Evolver simulations of spatially periodic foams. Elastic-plastic behavior is…
