Mechanics of a Model Frictional Knitted Fabric
Laura Michel, Antoine Faulconnier, Audrey Steinberger +2
We present a study of the shapes and mechanical properties of a knitted loop made of elastic and frictional yarns. First, for non-frictional yarns, we investigate how the elastic e…
Textiles: from twisted yarn to topology and mechanics
Elizabeth J. Dresselhaus, Sonia Mahmoudi, Lauren Niu +3
While textiles have existed throughout much of human history as complex mechanical metamaterials, textile science has largely been overlooked by the physics community until recentl…
Topological Defect Propagation to Classify Knitted Fabrics
Daisuke S. Shimamoto, Keiko Shimamoto, Sonia Mahmoudi +1
Knits and crochets are mechanical metamaterials with a long history and can typically be produced from a single yarn. Despite the simplicity of the manufacturing process, they exhi…
Static friction of liquid marbles
Yui Takai, Kei Mukoyama, Pritam Kumar Roy +4
Liquid marbles, droplets coated with a granular layer, are highly mobile as particles prevent capillary adhesion to the substrate. Yet their coating creates a static rolling fricti…
Rigidity transition of a highly compressible granular medium
Samuel Poincloux, Kazumasa A. Takeuchi
A wide range of disordered materials, from biological to geological assemblies, feature discrete elements undergoing large shape changes. How significant geometrical variations at…
Metastability of a periodic network of threads: what are the shapes of a knitted fabric ?
Jérôme Crassous, Samuel Poincloux, Audrey Steinberger
Knitted fabrics are metamaterials with remarkable mechanical properties, such as extreme deformability and multiple history-dependent rest shapes. This letter shows that those prop…
Stick-slip in a stack: how slip dissonance reveals aging
Samuel Poincloux, Pedro M. Reis, Tom W. J. de Geus
We perform physical and numerical experiments to study the stick-slip response of a stack of slabs in contact through dry frictional interfaces driven in quasistatic shear. The rat…
What is the stiffness of a bent book?
Samuel Poincloux, Tian Chen, Basile Audoly +1
We study the bending of a book-like system, comprising a stack of elastic plates coupled through friction. The behavior of this layered system is rich and nontrivial, with a non-ad…
Smooth triaxial weaving with naturally curved ribbons
Changyeob Baek, Alison G. Martin, Samuel Poincloux +2
Triaxial weaving is a handicraft technique that has long been used to create curved structures using initially straight and flat ribbons. Weavers typically introduce discrete topol…
Crackling dynamics in the mechanical response of knitted fabrics, Version 2
Samuel Poincloux, Mokhtar Adda-Bedia, Frédéric Lechenault
Crackling noise, which occurs in a wide range of situations, is characterized by discrete events of various sizes, often correlated in the form of avalanches. We report experimenta…
Geometry and elasticity of a knitted fabric
Samuel Poincloux, Mokhtar Adda-Bedia, Frédéric Lechenault
Knitting is not only a mere art and craft hobby but also a thousand year old technology. Unlike weaving, it can produce loose yet extremely stretchable fabrics with almost vanishin…
