The hidden side of paintbrushes: a geometry shaped by power laws
Raphaelle Taub, Jérôme Crassous, Thomas Salez +2
Since prehistoric times, painters have used brush-like tools made from animal and plant materials to apply pigments to rock surfaces. Over time, techniques for creating brushes evo…
A Discrete Element Method model for frictional fibers
Jérôme Crassous
We present a Discrete Element Method algorithm for the simulation of elastic fibers in frictional contacts. The fibers are modeled as chains of cylindrical segments connected to ea…
Interfacial assembly of anisotropic core-shell and hollow microgels
Anne C. Nickel, Andrey A. Rudov, Igor I. Potemkin +2
Microgels, cross-linked polymers with submicrometer size, are ideal soft model systems. While spherical microgels have been studied extensively, anisotropic microgels have been har…
"Twist-Controlled" force amplification \& Spinning tension transition in yarn
Antoine Seguin, Jérôme Crassous
Combining experiments and numerical simulations with a mechanical/statistical model of twisted yarns, we discuss the spinning transition between a cohesion-less assembly of fibers…
Anisotropic Microgels show their Soft Side
Anne C. Nickel, Timon Kratzenberg, Steffen Bochenek +6
Anisotropic, submicrometer sized particles are versatile systems providing interesting features in creating ordering in 2-dimensional systems. Combining hard ellipsoids with a soft…
Probing non-affine expansion with light scattering
Alesya Mikhailovskaya, Julien Fade, Jérôme Crassous
In disordered materials under mechanical stress, the produced deformation can deviate from the affine one already in the elastic regime. The nonaffine contribution was observed and…
