Effects of particle compressibility on structural and mechanical properties of compressed soft granular materials
Thi-Lo Vu, Saeid Nezamabadi, Serge Mora
Changes in the mechanical properties of granular materials, induced by variations in the intrinsic compressibility of the particles, are investigated by means of numerical simulati…
Synchronous whirling of spinning homogeneous elastic cylinders: linear and weakly non-linear analyses
S. Mora
Stationary whirling of slender and homogeneous (continuous) elastic shafts rotating around their axis, with pin-pin boundary condition at the ends, is revisited by considering the…
Cutting and slicing weak solids
Serge Mora, Yves Pomeau
Dicing soft solids with a sharp knife is quicker and smoother if the blade is sliding rapidly parallel to its edge in addition to the normal squeezing motion. We explain this commo…
The Shape of Hanging Elastic Cylinders
Serge Mora, Edward Ando, Jean-Marc Fromental +2
Deformations of heavy elastic cylinders with their axis in the direction of earth's gravity field are investigated. The specimens, made of polyacrylamide hydrogels, are attached fr…
Rearrangement zone around a crack tip in a double self-assembled transient network
Guillaume Foyart, Christian Ligoure, Serge Mora +1
We investigate the nucleation and propagation of cracks in self-assembled viscoelastic fluids, which are made of surfactant micelles reversibly linked by telechelic polymers. The m…
Elasto-buoyant heavy spheres: a unique way to test non-linear elasticity
Aditi Chakrabarti, Manoj K. Chaudhury, Serge Mora +1
Extra-large deformations in ultra-soft elastic materials are ubiquitous, yet systematic studies and methods to understand the mechanics of such huge strains are lacking. Here we in…
