Morpho-plastic cellular metamaterials

Victor Charpentier, Ignacio Andrade-Silva, Trevor J. Jones +4

Deployable structures, essential across various engineering applications ranging from umbrellas to satellites, are evolving to include soft, morphable designs where geometry drives…

Stacked Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities grow drops into soft stalactite-like structures

Barath Venkateswaran, Trevor J. Jones, Grace Kresge +3

The interplay between thin film hydrodynamics and solidification produces formidably intricate geophysical structures, such as stalactites and icicles, whose shape is a testimony o…

Fabric-based star soft robotic gripper

Ignacio Andrade-Silva, Joel Marthelot

Soft pneumatic gripping strategies are often based on pressurized actuation of structures made of soft elastomeric materials, which limits designs in terms of size, weight, achieva…

Shapes of a filament on the surface of a bubble

S Ganga Prasath, Joel Marthelot, Rama Govindarajan +1

The shape assumed by a slender elastic structure is a function both of the geometry of the space in which it exists and the forces it experiences. We explore by experiments and the…

Wetting and wrapping of a floating droplet by a thin elastic filament

S Ganga Prasath, Joel Marthelot, Narayanan Menon +1

We study the wetting of a thin elastic filament floating on a fluid surface by a droplet of another, immiscible fluid. This quasi-2D experimental system is the lower-dimensional co…

Curvature regularization near contacts with stretched elastic tubes

Bhargav Rallabandi, Joel Marthelot, P. -T. Brun +1

Bringing a rigid object into contact with a soft elastic tube causes the tube to conform to the surface of the object, resulting in contact lines. The curvature of the tube walls n…
