Adhesion-induced fingering instabilities in thin elastic films under strain
Benjamin Davis-Purcell, Pierre Soulard, Thomas Salez +2
In this study, thin elastic films supported on a rigid substrate are brought into contact with a spherical glass indenter. Upon contact, adhesive fingers emerge at the periphery of…
Surface energy of strained amorphous solids
Rafael D. Schulman, Miguel Trejo, Thomas Salez +2
Surface stress and surface energy are fundamental quantities which characterize the interface between two materials. Although these quantities are identical for interfaces involvin…
Unsteady wave pattern generation by water striders
Thomas Steinmann, Maxence Arutkin, Précillia Cochard +3
We perform an experimental and theoretical study of the wave pattern generated by the leg strokes of water striders during a propulsion cycle. Using the synthetic Schlieren method,…
Adsorption-Induced Slip Inhibition for Polymer Melts on Ideal Substrates
Mark Ilton, Thomas Salez, Paul D. Fowler +7
Hydrodynamic slip of a liquid at a solid surface represents a fundamental phenomenon in fluid dynamics that governs liquid transport at small scales. For polymeric liquids, de Genn…
Elastocapillary Levelling of Thin Viscous Films on Soft Substrates
Marco Rivetti, Vincent Bertin, Thomas Salez +6
A thin liquid film with non-zero curvature at its free surface spontaneously flows to reach a flat configuration, a process driven by Laplace pressure gradients and resisted by the…
