Elastocapillary lifting and encapsulation of water by a triangular elastic film under gravity
Kyoko Shibata, Hana Kanda, Yoshimi Tanaka +1
We investigate the encapsulation of water by a thin elastic film as a minimal model of elastocapillary self-folding with fluid transport. An equilateral triangular polydimethylsilo…
Gradient flow model of mode-III fracture in Maxwell-type viscoelastic materials
Yoshimi Tanaka, Takeshi Takaishi
We formulate a phase field crack growth model for mode III fracture in a Maxwell-type viscoelastic material. To describe viscoelastic relaxation, a field variable of viscously flow…
Fracture energy of gels
Yoshimi Tanaka, Koji Fukao, Yoshihisa Miyamoto
To clarify effects of crack speed and cross-link density on fracture energy of acrylamide gels, we evaluated the roughness of the fracture surface and measured the fracture energy…
Discontinuous Crack Fronts of Three-Dimensional Fractures
Yoshimi Tanaka, Koji Fukao, Yoshihisa Miyamoto +1
The relation between fracture surface morphology and the three-dimensional structure of crack fronts is investigated through direct observation of brittle cracks in gels. A key not…
