This is a tribute to honor Stefan U. Egelhaaf (1963-2023), a pioneer in experimental soft condensed matter physics.
Ductile-to-brittle transition and yielding in soft amorphous materials: perspectives and open questions
Thibaut Divoux, Elisabeth Agoritsas, Stefano Aime +37
Soft amorphous materials are viscoelastic solids ubiquitously found around us, from clays and cementitious pastes to emulsions and physical gels encountered in food or biomedical e…
Optimising non-Newtonian fluids for impact protection of laminates
James A. Richards, Daniel J. M. Hodgson, Rory E. O'Neill +2
Non-Newtonian fluids can be used for the protection of flexible laminates. Understanding the coupling between the flow of the protecting fluid and the deformation of the protected…
