Hydrodynamic Resistance on Oscillating Planar Interfacial Bodies
Ian Ho, Ajay Harishankar Kumar, Daniel M. Harris
We study the unsteady dynamics of floating planar bodies undergoing lateral oscillations along an air--water interface. Scaling arguments indicate that when the viscous penetration…
Self-learning mechanical circuits
Vishal P. Patil, Ian Ho, Manu Prakash
Adaptivity and learning are ubiquitous in living systems, from cytoplasm and biofilms to animal flocks. However, the problem of designing nonliving mechanical systems capable of se…
Theoretical modeling of capillary surfer interactions on a vibrating fluid bath
Anand U. Oza, Giuseppe Pucci, Ian Ho +1
We present and analyze a theoretical model for the dynamics and interactions of "capillary surfers," which are millimetric objects that self-propel while floating at the interface…
Reconfigurable mechanical vibrations laboratory kit
Ian Ho, Ajay Harishankar Kumar, Daniel M. Harris
Mechanical vibrations appear across a diverse range of applications, but nevertheless are unified by a core set of principles and phenomena. In this article, we describe a reconfig…
Capillary surfers: wave-driven particles at a vibrating fluid interface
Ian Ho, Giuseppe Pucci, Anand U. Oza +1
We present an experimental study of capillary surfers, a new fluid-mediated active system that bridges the gap between dissipation- and inertia-dominated regimes. Surfers are wave-…
