Yielding and Strain Stiffening in Entangled Assemblies of Frictional Granular Chains
M. Reza Shaebani, Mehdi Habibi
Packings of macroscopic granular chains capture some of the essential aspects of molecular polymer systems and have been suggested as a paradigm to understand the physics on a mole…
Universal Transition to Wide Shear Zones in Entangled Macroscale Chains or Ropes
M. Reza Shaebani, Gerard Gimenez-Ribes, Sybren Zondervan +3
Macroscale chains have been proposed to give insight into the physics of molecular polymer systems. Nevertheless, understanding the rheological response of systems of quasi-one-dim…
Molecular rotors to probe the local viscosity of a polymer glass
Elham Mirzahossein, Marion Grzelka, Zhongcheng Pan +4
We investigate the local viscosity of a polymer glass around its glass transition temperature using environment-sensitive fluorescent molecular rotors embedded in the polymer matri…
The normal yield stress
Henri de Cagny, Mina Fazilati, Mehdi Habibi +2
Normal stresses in complex fluids lead to new flow phenomena because they can be comparable to or even larger than the shear stress itself. In addition, they are of paramount impor…
Effect of plasticity and dimensionality on crumpling of a thin sheet
Mehdi Habibi, Mokhtar Adda-Bedia, Daniel Bonn
The process of crumpling a sheet and compacting it into a ball is dependent on many parameters that are difficult to disentangle. We study the effect of plasticity on the crumpling…
Nonmonotonic fracture behavior of polymer nanocomposites
Janaina G. de Castro, Rojman Zargar, Mehdi Habibi +5
Polymer composite materials are widely used for their exceptional mechanical properties, notably their ability to resist large deformations. Here we examine the failure stress and…
