Guided elastic waves for soft elastomer characterization: an alternative to conventional rheometry

Samuel Croquette, Pierre Chantelot, Daniel A. Kiefer +2

Elastic wave propagation is intrinsically sensitive to the mechanical properties of the medium through which it travels. In soft elastomers, this makes guided elastic waves natural…

Guided elastic waves informed material modelling of soft incompressible media

Pierre Chantelot, Samuel Croquette, Fabrice Lemoult

Identifying a universal material constitutive law, that describes the mechanical response of rubber-like solids for all deformation fields and achievable extensions, is an outstand…

Wave propagation in a model artery

Pierre Chantelot, Alexandre Delory, Claire Prada +1

Fluid filled pipes are ubiquitous in both man-made constructions and living organisms. In the latter, biological pipes, such as arteries, have unique properties as their walls are…

Drop impact on superheated surfaces: from capillary dominance to non-linear advection dominance

Pierre Chantelot, Detlef Lohse

Ambient air cushions the impact of drops on solid substrates, an effect usually revealed by the entrainment of a bubble, trapped as the air squeezed under the drop drains and liqui…

When does an impacting drop stop bouncing?

Vatsal Sanjay, Pierre Chantelot, Detlef Lohse

Non-wetting substrates allow impacting liquid drops to spread, recoil, and takeoff, provided they are not too heavy (Biance et al. 2006) or too viscous (Jha et al. 2020). In this a…

Drop impact on viscous liquid films

Vatsal Sanjay, Srinath Lakshman, Pierre Chantelot +2

When a liquid drop falls on a solid substrate, the air layer in between them delays the occurrence of liquid--solid contact. For impacts on smooth substrates, the air film can even…

Non-wetting drop dynamics

Srinath Lakshman, Vatsal Sanjay, Pierre Chantelot +2

The impact of droplets on solids or weakly-deformable surfaces can lead to non-wetting outcomes, depending on the control parameters. Here, we perform experiments and develop a sim…

The Leidenfrost effect as a directed percolation phase transition

Pierre Chantelot, Detlef Lohse

Volatile drops deposited on a hot solid can levitate on a cushion of their own vapor, without contacting the surface. We propose to understand the onset of this so-called Leidenfro…

Drop impact on superheated surfaces: short-time dynamics and transition to contact

Pierre Chantelot, Detlef Lohse

When a volatile drop impacts on a superheated solid, air drainage and vapor generation conspire to create an intermediate gas layer that delays or even prevents contact between the…

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…

Drop Trampoline

Pierre Chantelot, Martin Coux, Christophe Clanet +1

Rigid superhydrophobic materials have the ability to repel millimetric water drops, in typically 10 ms. Yet, most natural water-repellent materials can be deformed by impacting dro…
