Geometry-driven jets underlie dispersal of plants and fungi by raindrops
Ana-Maria Bratu, Valentin Laplaud, Antoine Garcia +4
The impact of droplets on concave surfaces is poorly understood, although it is relevant to a mode of dispersal that has evolved independently in several species of plants and fung…
Mechanics of pressurized cellular sheets
Thomas G. J. Chandler, Jordan Ferria, Oliver Shorthose +4
Everyday experience shows that cellular sheets are stiffened by the presence of a pressurized gas: from bicycle inner tubes to bubble wrap, the presence of an internal pressure inc…
Predicting the mechanical properties of spring networks
Doron Grossman, Arezki Boudaoud
The elastic response of mechanical, chemical, and biological systems is often modeled using a discrete arrangement of Hookean springs, either representing finite material elements…
Multiscale modelling and analysis of growth of plant tissues
Arezki Boudaoud, Annamaria Kiss, Mariya Ptashnyk
How morphogenesis depends on cell properties is an active direction of research. Here, we focus on mechanical models of growing plant tissues, where microscopic (sub)cellular struc…
The Structure of Fluctuating Thin Sheets Under Random Forcing
Chanania Steinbock, Eytan Katzav, Arezki Boudaoud
We propose a mathematical model to describe the athermal fluctuations of thin sheets driven by the type of random driving that might be experienced prior to weak crumpling. The mod…
Nonlinear clogging of a rectangular slit by a spherical soft particle
Charles Paul Moore, Julien Husson, Arezki Boudaoud +2
The capture of a soft spherical particle by a rectangular slit leads to a non-monotonic pressure-flow rate relation at low Reynolds number. In the presence of the trapped particle…
