Materializing split, mixed, and three-body interactions using rotor-based mechanical hysterons
Oche T. Ali, Faten A. Al Ardat, Jack Feider +4
Interacting hysteretic spins are an appealing model for cyclically-driven athermal disordered matter. Because they provide a basis for storing and processing information from their…

Shape of a membrane on a liquid interface with arbitrary curvatures
Zachariah S. Schrecengost, Seif Hejazine, Jordan V. Barrett +2
We study the deformation of a liquid interface with arbitrary principal curvatures by a flat circular sheet. Working first at small slopes, we determine the shape of the sheet anal…

Crumples as a generic stress-focusing instability in confined sheets
Yousra Timounay, Raj De, Jessica L. Stelzel +3
Thin elastic solids are easily deformed into a myriad of three-dimensional shapes, which may contain sharp localized structures as in a crumpled candy wrapper, or have smooth and d…
