Penetration of Rigid Rods, Flexible Rods, and Granular Jets into Low-Density Granular Media

J. E. Benítez-Zamudio, S. Hidalgo-Caballero, F. Pacheco-Vázquez

The penetration of projectiles into granular materials has been mainly studied using spherical intruders. Here we explore the dynamics of rods penetrating vertically in a two-dimen…

Droplet-on-demand using a positive pressure pulse

Mathieu Oléron, Gregoire Clement, Samuel Hidalgo Caballero +4

Droplet generation under steady conditions is a common microfluidic method for producing biphasic systems. However, this process works only over a limited range of imposed pressure…

Intelligent Soft Matter: Towards Embodied Intelligence

Vladimir A. Baulin, Achille Giacometti, Dmitry Fedosov +24

Intelligent soft matter stands at the intersection of materials science, physics, and cognitive science, promising to change how we design and interact with materials. This transfo…

Frugal random exploration strategy for shape recognition using statistical geometry

Samuel Hidalgo-Caballero, Alvaro Cassinelli, Emmanuel Fort +1

Very distinct strategies can be deployed to recognize and characterize an unknown environment or a shape. A recent and promising approach, especially in robotics, is to reduce the…

Formation and dynamics of a semi vortex ring connected to a free surface

Alexandre Vilquin, Samuel Hidalgo-Caballero, Vincent Pagneux +2

Playing a role in the locomotion of some animals such as the water strider, the formation and dynamics of a semi vortex ring connected to a free surface are experimentally investig…

Mean arc theorem for exploring domains with randomly distributed arbitrary closed trajectories

Samuel Hidalgo-Caballero, Alvaro Cassinelli, Matthieu Labousse +1

A remarkable result from integral geometry is Cauchy's formula, which relates the mean path length of ballistic trajectories randomly crossing a convex 2D domain, to the ratio betw…

Liquid walls and interfaces in arbitrary directions stabilized by vibrations

Benjamin Apffel, Samuel Hidalgo-Caballero, Antonin Eddi +1

Gravity shapes liquids and play a crucial role in their internal balance. Creating new equilibrium configurations irrespective of the presence of a gravitational field is challengi…

The simultaneous discharge of liquid and grains from a silo

A. M. Cervantes-Álvarez, S. Hidalgo-Caballero, F. Pacheco-Vázquez

The flow rate of water through an orifice at the bottom of a container depends on the hydrostatic pressure whereas for a dry granular material is nearly constant. But what happens…

Surface depression with double-angle geometry during the discharge of close-packed grains from a silo

F. Pacheco-Vazquez, A. Y. Ramos-Reyes, S. Hidalgo-Caballero

When rough grains in standard packing conditions are discharged from a silo, a conical depression with a single slope is formed at the surface. We observed that the increase of the…
