Viscoelasticity Enhances Contactless Adhesion of Soft Substrates
Marco Rizzo, Jacco H. Snoeijer, Vincent Bertin +1
Understanding adhesion is essential for describing stability, friction, and interfacial dynamics. Here, we investigate the adhesion force dynamics between a rigid sphere and a soft…
Broadband molecular dynamics simulation of fluid inertial effects in confined Brownian motion
Quentin Thomas, Clara Mefo Sop, Maxime Lavaud +3
Hydrodynamic memory governs Brownian motion over a broad range of timescales, from acoustic wave propagation at short times to diffusive relaxation at long times. While confinement…
Enhanced viscous adhesion using deformable structure
Mary Williams, Thomas Desmedt, Fabian Brau +1
We investigate the adhesion dynamics of a thin elastic structure in contact with a viscous fluid and retracted at a controlled speed, mimicking natural adhesion mechanisms. During…
Universal wrinkling dynamics of a sheet on viscous liquid
Ayrton Draux, Marco Rizzo, Dominic Vella +3
We investigate the wrinkling dynamics of a thin elastic sheet that is indented or compressed while floating on a viscous liquid. We show that the deformation speed controls the dyn…
Algebraic depletion interactions in two-temperature mixtures
Pascal Damman, Vincent Démery, Guillaume Palumbo +1
The phase separation that occurs in two-temperature mixtures, which are driven out of equilibrium at the local scale, has been thoroughly characterized, but much less is known abou…
