How do 3M Command strips work? A fracture mechanics approach
Xue-Ling Luo, Nikolaos Bouklas, Chung-Yuen Hui
Removable adhesive systems such as 3M Command strips are designed to support substantial loads while allowing clean, damage-free removal from the substrate. These systems rely on a…
Rethinking failure in polymer networks: a probabilistic view on progressive damage
Noy Cohen, Nikolaos Bouklas, Chung-Yuen Hui
The mechanics of single-chain stretching and rupture are central to understanding the resilience of biological polymers and designing strong and tough soft materials such as double…
Droplet Outbursts from Onion Cutting
Zixuan Wu, Alireza Hooshanginejad, Weilun Wang +2
Cutting onions often leads to tear-inducing aerosol release in kitchen, yet the underlying mechanics of droplet generation remain poorly understood. In this work, we combine custom…
Role of Wettability, Adhesion, and Instabilities in Transitions During Lubricated Sliding Friction
Hao Dong, Reshma Siddiquie, Xuemei Xiao +4
Lubricated contacts in soft materials are important in various engineering systems and natural settings. Three major lubrication regimes are boundary (BL), mixed (ML), and elasto-h…
Elastocapillarity: Surface Tension and the Mechanics of Soft Solids
Robert W. Style, Anand Jagota, C. -Y. Hui +1
It is widely appreciated that surface tension can dominate the behavior of liquids at small scales. Solids also have surface stresses of a similar magnitude, but they are usually o…
