Softening of edges of solids by surface tension
Serge Mora, Yves Pomeau
Surface tension tends to minimize the area of interfaces between pieces of matter in different thermodynamic phases, be they in the solid or the liquid state. This can be relevant…

Gravity driven instability in elastic solids
Serge Mora, Ty Phou, Jean-Marc Fromental +1
We demonstrate the instability of the free surface of a soft elastic solid facing downwards. Experiments are carried out using a gel of constant density , shear modulus , put…

Soft granular matter
Serge Mora, Yves Pomeau
We consider a dilute system of small hard beads or hard fibers immersed in a very soft gel able to withstand large elastic deformations. Because of its low to very low shear modulu…
