Curved crack paths are predicted by elastic-charges
Oran Szachter, Emmanuel Siefert, Mokhtar Adda-Bedia +2
Predicting crack trajectories in brittle solids remains an open challenge in fracture mechanics due to the non-local nature of crack propagation and the way cracks modify their sur…

Optimal rigid brush for fluid capture
Basile Radisson, Hadrien Bense, Emmanuel Siéfert +3
Parallel assemblies of slender structures forming brushes are common in our daily life from sweepers to pastry brushes and paintbrushes. This type of porous objects can easily trap…

Elastocapillary sequential fluid capture in hummingbird-inspired grooved sheets
Emmanuel Siéfert, Benoit Scheid, Fabian Brau +1
Passive and effective fluid capture and transport at small scale is crucial for industrial and medical applications, especially for the realisation of point-of-care tests. Performi…
