Dynamically writing coupled memories using a reinforcement learning agent, meeting physical bounds
Théo Jules, Laura Michel, Adèle Douin +1
Traditional memory writing operations proceed one bit at a time, where e.g. an individual magnetic domain is force-flipped by a localized external field. One way to increase materi…
The delicate memory structure of origami switches
Théo Jules, Austin Reid, Karen E. Daniels +2
While memory effects emerge from systems of wildly varying length- and time-scales, the reduction of a complex system with many interacting elements into one simple enough to be un…
Curving Origami with Mechanical Frustration
Théo Jules, Frédéric Lechenault, Mokhtar Adda-Bedia
We study the three-dimensional equilibrium shape of a shell formed by a deployed accordion-like origami, made from an elastic sheet decorated by a series of parallel creases crosse…
Plasticity and Aging of Folded Elastic Sheets
Théo Jules, Frédéric Lechenault, Mokhtar Adda-Bedia
We investigate the dissipative mechanisms exhibited by creased material sheets when subjected to mechanical loading, which comes in the form of plasticity and relaxation phenomena…
Rotation of a submerged finite cylinder moving down a soft incline
Baudouin Saintyves, Bhargav Rallabandi, Theo Jules +5
A submerged finite cylinder moving under its own weight along a soft incline lifts off and slides at a steady velocity while also spinning. Here, we experimentally quantify the ste…
Local Mechanical Description of an Elastic Fold
Théo Jules, Frédéric Lechenault, Mokhtar Adda-Bedia
To go beyond the simple model for the fold as two flexible surfaces or faces linked by a crease that behaves as an elastic hinge, we carefully shape and anneal a crease within a po…
Self-sustained lift and low friction via soft lubrication
Baudouin Saintyves, Théo Jules, Thomas Salez +1
Relative motion between soft wet solids arises in a number of applications in natural and artificial settings, and invariably couples elastic deformation and fluid flow. We explore…
