Structure Selection by Non-Conservative 3-Body Acoustic Interactions

Qinghao Mao, Heinrich M. Jaeger

The paper shows that non-conservative three‑body acoustic forces can stabilize a specific static arrangement of levitated particles, selecting a flattened isosceles triangle instea…

Nonreciprocal multi-body interactions activate liquid state of acoustically levitated particle ensembles

Nina M. Brown, Heinrich M. Jaeger

The study demonstrates that nonreciprocal multi‑body forces arising from acoustic scattering and microstreaming cause levitated microsphere ensembles to behave like a two‑dimension…

Irregular Metamaterial Networks

Thomas P. Wytock, Chiara Daraio, Heinrich M. Jaeger +4

Metamaterials can achieve exceptional functionality through careful engineering of their mesoscale structure. Although appropriately introduced irregularities can be advantageous,…

Dicovering the emergent nonlinear dynamics of acoustically levitated cube clusters

Annie Z. Xia, Melody X. Lim, Jason Z. Kim +2

The complex behavior of many natural and engineered systems emerges from the interaction of a small number of effective degrees of freedom. Discovering the physical basis of the in…

Non-reciprocity and multibody interactions in acoustically levitated particle systems: A three body problem

Brady Wu, Qinghao Mao, Bryan VanSaders +1

In active fluids and active solids the constituents individually generate movement by each extracting energy from their environment or from their own source. Non-reciprocal interac…

Strain stiffening due to stretching of entangled particles in random packings of granular materials

Eric Brown, Kevin A. Mitchell, Alice Nasto +2

Stress-strain relations for random packings of entangling chains under triaxial compression can exhibit strain stiffening and sustain stresses several orders-of-magnitude beyond ty…
