Strain-induced alignment in collagen gels
D. Vader, A. Kabla, D. Weitz +1
Collagen is the most abundant extracellular-network-forming protein in animal biology and is important in both natural and artificial tissues, where it serves as a material of grea…
X-ray observation of micro-failures in granular piles approaching an avalanche
Alexandre Kabla, Georges Debregeas, Jean-Marc Di Meglio +1
An X-ray imaging technique is used to probe the stability of 3-dimensional granular packs in a slowly rotating drum. Well before the surface reaches the avalanche angle, we observe…
Contact dynamics in a gently vibrated granular pile
Alexandre Kabla, Georges Debregeas
We use multi-speckle diffusive wave spectroscopy (MSDWS) to probe the micron-scale dynamics of a granular pile submitted to discrete gentle taps. The typical time-scale between pla…
Local Stress Relaxation and Shear-banding in a Dry Foam under Shear
Alexandre Kabla, Georges Debregeas
We have developed a realistic simulation of 2D dry foams under quasi-static shear. After a short transient, a shear-banding instability is observed. These results are compared with…
