Curvature heterogeneities act as singular perturbations to smooth Laplacian fields: a fluid mechanics demonstration
Stéphane Guillet, Benjamin Guiselin, Mariem Boughzala +2
In this Letter, we use a model fluid mechanics experiment to elucidate the impact of curvature heterogeneities on two-dimensional fields deriving from harmonic potential functions.…
Active hydraulics laws from frustration principles
Camille Jorge, Amélie Chardac, Alexis Poncet +1
Viscous flows are laminar and deterministic. Robust linear laws accurately predict their streamlines in structures as complex as blood vessels, porous media and pipe networks. Howe…
Model-free characterization of topological edge and corner states in mechanical networks
Marcelo Guzman, Xiaofei Guo, Corentin Coulais +2
Topological materials can host edge and corner states that are protected from disorder and material imperfections. In particular, the topological edge states of mechanical structur…
Non-orientable order and non-Abelian response in frustrated metamaterials
Xiaofei Guo, Marcelo Guzman, David Carpentier +2
From atomic crystals to bird flocks, most forms of order are captured by the concept of spontaneous symmetry breaking. This paradigm was challenged by the discovery of topological…
When soft crystals defy Newton's third law: Non-reciprocal mechanics and dislocation motility
Alexis Poncet, Denis Bartolo
The effective interactions between the constituents of driven soft matter generically defy Newton's third law. Combining theory and numerical simulations, we establish that six cla…
Topology-driven ordering of flocking matter
Amélie Chardac, Ludwig A. Hoffmann, Yoann Poupart +2
When interacting motile units self-organize into flocks, they realize one of the most robust ordered state found in nature. However, after twenty five years of intense research, th…
