Floating under a levitating liquid
Benjamin Apffel, Filip Novkoski, Antonin Eddi +1
When placed upside down a liquid surface is known to destabilize above a certain size. However, vertical shaking can have a dynamical stabilizing effect. These oscillations can als…
How capillarity affects the propagation of elastic waves in soft gels
P. Chantelot, L. Domino, A. Eddi
Elastic waves propagating at the interface of soft solids can be altered by the presence of external forces such as capillarity or gravity. We measure the dispersion relation of wa…
Peeling an elastic film from a soft viscoelastic adhesive: experiments and scaling laws
Hugo Perrin, Antonin Eddi, Stefan Karpitschka +2
The functionality of adhesives relies on their response under the application of a load. Yet, it has remained a challenge to quantitatively relate the macroscopic dynamics of peeli…
Dispersion free control of hydroelastic waves down to sub-wavelength scale
Lucie Domino, M. Fermigier, E. Fort +1
Hydroelastic surface waves propagate at the surface of water covered by a thin elastic sheet and can be directly measured with accurate space and time resolution. We present an exp…
