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…
Discontinuous Buckling of Wide Beams and Metabeams
Corentin Coulais, Johannes T. B. Overvelde, Luuk A. Lubbers +2
We uncover how nonlinearities dramatically alter the buckling of elastic beams. First, we show experimentally that sufficiently wide ordinary elastic beams and specifically designe…
