Micromechanical origin of plasticity and hysteresis in nest-like packings
Yashraj Bhosale, Nicholas Weiner, Alex Butler +3
Disordered packings of unbonded, semiflexible fibers represent a class of materials spanning contexts and scales. From twig-based bird nests to unwoven textiles, bulk mechanics of…
Adhesive forces inhibit underwater contact formation for a soft-hard collision
Mengyue Sun1, Nityanshu Kumar1, Ali Dhinojwala +1
Thermodynamics tells us to expect underwater contact between two hydrophobic surfaces to result in stronger adhesion compared to two hydrophilic surfaces. However, presence of wate…
Inelastic impact of a sphere on a massive plane: nonmonotonic velocity-dependence of the restitution coefficient
Hunter King, Ryan White, Iva Maxwell +1
We have studied the coefficient of restitution, , in normal collisions of a non-rotating sphere on a massive plate for a range of material parameters, impact velocity and sphere…
