Excess Floppy Modes and Multi-Branched Mechanisms in Metamaterials with Symmetries
Luuk A. Lubbers, Martin van Hecke
Floppy modes --- deformations that cost zero energy --- are central to the mechanics of a wide class of systems. For disordered systems, such as random networks and particle packin…

Dynamical Theory of the Inverted Cheerios Effect
Anupam Pandey, Stefan Karpitschka, Luuk A. Lubbers +5
Recent experiments have shown that liquid drops on highly deformable substrates exhibit mutual interactions. This is similar to the Cheerios effect, the capillary interaction of so…
