A two-dimensional index to quantify both scientific research impact and scope

M. Adda-Bedia, F. Lechenault

Modern management of research is increasingly based on quantitative bibliometric indices. Nowadays, the h-index is a major measure of research output that has supplanted all other…

The mechanical response of a creased sheet

Frederic Lechenault, Benjamin Thiria, Mokhtar Adda-Bedia

We investigate the mechanics of thin sheets decorated by non-interacting creases. The system considered here consists in parallel folds connected by elastic panels. We show that th…

Evidence of deep water penetration in silica during stress corrosion fracture

F. Lechenault, C. L. Rountree, F. Cousin +3

We measure the thickness of the heavy water layer trapped under the stress corrosion fracture surface of silica using neutron reflectivity experiments. We show that the penetration…

Local origins of volume fraction fluctuations in dense granular materials

James G. Puckett, Frederic Lechenault, Karen E. Daniels

Fluctuations of the local volume fraction within granular materials have previously been observed to decrease as the system approaches jamming. We experimentally examine the role o…

Equilibration of granular subsystems

F. Lechenault, Karen E. Daniels

We experimentally investigate the steady states of two granular assemblies differing in their material properties and allowed to exchange volume with each other under external agit…

"Barchan" dunes in the lab

O. Dauchot, F. Lechenault, C. Gasquet +1

We demonstrate the feasibility of studying dunes in a laboratory experiment. It is shown that an initial sand pile, under a wind flow carrying sand, flattens and gets a shape recal…
