Elastic building blocks for confined sheets
Robert D. Schroll, Eleni Katifori, Benny Davidovitch
We study the behavior of thin elastic sheets that are bent and strained under the influence of weak, smooth confinement. We show that the emerging shapes exhibit the coexistence of…
Far From Threshold Buckling Analysis of Thin Films
Benny Davidovitch, Robert D. Schroll, Dominic Vella +2
Thin films buckle easily and form wrinkled states in regions of well defined size. The extent of a wrinkled region is typically assumed to reflect the zone of in-plane compressive…
Laser microfluidics: fluid actuation by light
Jean-Pierre Delville, Matthieu Robert De Saint-Vincent, Robert D. Schroll +6
The development of microfluidic devices is still hindered by the lack of robust fundamental building blocks that constitute any fluidic system. An attractive approach is optical ac…
