Coalescence of viscous blisters under an elastic sheet
W-E. Khatla, L. Duchemin, A. Eddi +1
We study the coalescence of identical viscous blisters beneath an elastic sheet both experimentally and numerically. Using a time-resolved synthetic schlieren technique, we measure…
High-resolution measurement of sea ice mechanical characteristics using Distributed Acoustic Sensing
Sébastien Kuchly, Ludovic Moreau, Vasco Zanchi +6
Sea ice mechanical properties are involved in dynamical processes acting from the scale of meters to several hundred kilometers. The current rapid changes in the state of polar sea…
Tunable Thin Elasto-Drops
Antonin Eddi, Stéphane Perrard, Jishen Zhang
We present an experimental method to fabricate centimetric thin elastic capsules with highly uniform thickness and negligible bending stiffness using silicone elastomers. In our ex…
Distributed network of smartphone sensors: a new tool for scientific field measurements
J. Zhang, N. Mokus, J. Casoli +2
Smartphones sensors are now commonly used by a worldwide audience thanks to their availability, high connectivity, and versatility. Here, we present a methodology to use a collecti…
Resonance of an object floating within a surface wavefield
Sébastien Kuchly, Wilson Reino, Kyle McKee +3
We examine the interaction between floating cylindrical objects and surface waves in the gravity regime. Since the impact of resonance phenomena associated with floating bodies, pa…
Wave induced fracture of a sea ice analog
Baptiste Auvity, Laurent Duchemin, Antonin Eddi +1
We study at the laboratory scale the rupture of thin floating sheets made of a brittle material under a wave-induced mechanical forcing. We show that the rupture occurs where the c…
Measuring the local mechanical properties of a floating elastic sheet
G. Le Doudic, M. Jafari, J. Barckicke +2
Polar regions are covered by sea ice, which can be seen as a thin solid elastic sheet with heterogeneous mechanical properties. The dynamics of deformation of a floating solid shee…
Elastic wavepackets crossing a space-time interface
Alexandre Delory, Claire Prada, Maxime Lanoy +3
The interaction between waves and evolving media challenges traditional conservation laws. We experimentally investigate the behavior of elastic wave packets crossing a moving inte…
Viscoelastic dynamics of a soft strip subject to a large deformation
Alexandre Delory, Daniel A. Kiefer, Maxime Lanoy +3
To produce sounds, we adjust the tension of our vocal folds to shape their properties and control the pitch. This efficient mechanism offers inspiration for designing reconfigurabl…
Guided elastic waves in a highly-stretched soft plate
Alexandre Delory, Fabrice Lemoult, Antonin Eddi +1
We study the propagation of guided elastic waves in a highly-stretched Ecoflex\c{opyright} plate, a nearly incompressible elastomer. The plate is subjected to a nearly-uniaxial str…
Liquid walls and interfaces in arbitrary directions stabilized by vibrations
Benjamin Apffel, Samuel Hidalgo-Caballero, Antonin Eddi +1
Gravity shapes liquids and play a crucial role in their internal balance. Creating new equilibrium configurations irrespective of the presence of a gravitational field is challengi…
Time localization of energy in disordered time-modulated systems
Benjamin Apffel, Sander Wildeman, Antonin Eddi +1
Wave localization induced by spatial disorder is ubiquitous in physics. Here, we study the temporal analog of such phenomenon on water waves. Our time disordered media consists in…
Dirac cones and chiral selection of elastic waves in a soft strip
Maxime Lanoy, Fabrice Lemoult, Antonin Eddi +1
We study the propagation of in-plane elastic waves in a soft thin strip; a specific geometrical and mechanical hybrid framework which we expect to exhibit Dirac-like cone. We separ…
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…
Faraday wave lattice as an elastic metamaterial
L Domino, M Tarpin, Sylvain Patinet +1
Metamaterials enable the emergence of novel physical properties due to the existence of an underlying sub-wavelength structure. Here, we use the Faraday instability to shape the fl…
Revisiting time reversal and holography with spacetime transformations
Vincent Bacot, Matthieu Labousse, Antonin Eddi +2
Wave control is usually performed by spatially engineering the properties of a medium. Because time and space play similar roles in wave propagation, manipulating time boundaries p…
Interaction of two walkers: Wave-mediated energy and force
Christian Borghesi, Julien Moukhtar, Matthieu Labousse +3
A bouncing droplet, self-propelled by its interaction with the waves it generates, forms a classical wave-particle association called a "walker." Previous works have demonstrated t…
Marangoni spreading due to a localized alcohol supply on a thin water film
José Federico Hernández-Sánchez, Antonin Eddi, J. H. Snoeijer
Bringing the interfaces of two miscible fluids into contact naturally generates strong gradients in surface tension. Here we investigate such a Marangoni-driven flow by continuousl…
How geometry determines the coalescence of low-viscosity drops
A. Eddi, K. G. Winkels, J. H. Snoeijer
The coalescence of water drops on a substrate is studied experimentally. We focus on the rapid growth of the bridge connecting the two drops, which very quickly after contact ensue…
Path-memory induced quantization of classical orbits
Emmanuel Fort, Antonin Eddi, Arezki Boudaoud +2
A droplet bouncing on a liquid bath can self-propel due to its interaction with the waves it generates. The resulting "walker" is a dynamical association where, at a macroscopic sc…
Short time dynamics of viscous drop spreading
