Microscopic description of the intermittent dynamics driving logarithmic creep
Daniel J. Korchinski, Dor Shohat, Yoav Lahini +1
Disordered materials under an imposed forcing can display creep and aging effects, accompanied by intermittent, spatially heterogeneous dynamics. We propose a unifying microscopic…
A geometric condition for robot-swarm cohesion and cluster-flock transition
Mathias Casiulis, Eden Arbel, Charlotte van Waes +4
We present a geometric design rule for size-controlled clustering of self-propelled particles. We show that active particles that tend to rotate under an external force have an int…
Are crumpled sheets marginally stable?
Dor Shohat, Yoav Lahini, Daniel Hexner
We study networks of coupled bistable elastic elements, recently proposed as a model for crumpled thin sheets. The networks are poised on the verge of a localized instability, and…
A Mechanical Route for Cooperative Transport in Autonomous Robotic Swarms
Eden Arbel, Luco L. K. M. Buise, Charlotte C. R. M. M. van Waes +3
Cooperative transport is a striking phenomenon where multiple agents join forces to transit a payload too heavy for the individual. While social animals such as ants are routinely…
