Wetting ridge dissipation at large deformations
Martin H. Essink, Stefan Karpitschka, Hamza K. Khattak +3
Liquid drops slide more slowly over soft, deformable substrates than over rigid solids. This phenomenon can be attributed to the viscoelastic dissipation induced by the moving wett…
Unsteady drag force on an immersed sphere oscillating near a wall
Zaicheng Zhang, Vincent Bertin, Martin Essink +6
The unsteady hydrodynamic drag exerted on an oscillating sphere near a planar wall is addressed experimentally, theoretically, and numerically. The experiments are performed by usi…
Reversal of Solvent Migration in Poroelastic Folds
Mees M. Flapper, Anupam Pandey, Stefan Karpitschka +1
Polymer networks and biological tissues are often swollen by a solvent, such that their properties emerge from a coupling between swelling and elastic stress. This poroelastic coup…
Soft wetting with (a)symmetric Shuttleworth effect
C. Henkel, M. H. Essink, Tuong Hoang +4
The wetting of soft polymer substrates brings in multiple complexities as compared to the wetting on rigid substrates. The contact angle of the liquid is no longer governed by Youn…
Pinning-induced folding-unfolding asymmetry in adhesive creases
Michiel A. J. van Limbeek, Martin H. Essink, Anupam Pandey +2
The compression of soft elastic matter and biological tissue can lead to creasing, an instability where a surface folds sharply into periodic self-contacts. Intriguingly, the unfol…
How to unloop a self-adherent sheet
Twan J. S. Wilting, Martin H. Essink, Hanneke Gelderblom +1
The mechanics of adherent sheets is central to applications ranging from patching a band aid, coating technology, to the breakthrough discovery of peeling graphene flakes using sti…
Regimes of Soft Lubrication
Martin Essink, Anupam Pandey, Stefan Karpitschka +2
Elastohydrodynamic lubrication, or simply soft lubrication, refers to the motion of deformable objects near a boundary lubricated by a fluid, and is one of the key physical mechani…
