Koushik Viswanathan, Srinivasan Chandrasekar
The question of how soft polymers slide against hard surfaces is of significant scientific interest, given its practical implications. Specifically, such sytems commonly show inter…
Porosity governs failure in bioconsolidated space bricks
Vineet Dawara, Nitin Gupta, Arjun Dey +2
Understanding the mechanical response and failure of consolidated extra-terrestrial soils requires analyses of the interactions between propagating cracks the material's inherent p…
Of fiery sparks & glittering spots: Melting-resolidification and spherical particle formation in abrasion
Harish Singh Dhami, Priti Ranjan Panda, Koushik Viswanathan
The curious occurrence of perfectly spherical particles when a steel substrate is slid against a hard abrasive was first observed and documented by Robert Hooke in the 17 ce…
