Measuring order in the isotropic packing of elastic rods
E. Bayart, S. Deboeuf, F. Corson +2
The packing of elastic bodies has emerged as a paradigm for the study of macroscopic disordered systems. However, progress is hampered by the lack of controlled experiments. Here w…
Finite-distance singularities in the tearing of thin sheets
E. Bayart, A. Boudaoud, M. Adda-Bedia
We investigate the interaction between two cracks propagating in a thin sheet. Two different experimental geometries allow us to tear sheets by imposing an out-of-plane shear loadi…
Multiple-length-scale elastic instability mimics parametric resonance of nonlinear oscillators
Fabian Brau, Hugues Vandeparre, Abbas Sabbah +3
Spatially confined rigid membranes reorganize their morphology in response to the imposed constraints. A crumpled elastic sheet presents a complex pattern of random folds focusing…
Roughness of moving elastic lines - crack and wetting fronts
E. Katzav, M. Adda-Bedia, M. Ben Amar +1
We investigate propagating fronts in disordered media that belong to the universality class of wetting contact lines and planar tensile crack fronts. We derive from first principle…
