Programming stiff inflatable shells from planar patterned fabrics
Emmanuel Siéfert, Etienne Reyssat, José Bico +1
Lack of stiffness often limits thin shape-shifting structures to small scales. The large in-plane transformations required to distort the metrics are indeed commonly achieved by us…
A new failure mechanism in thin film by collaborative fracture and delamination: interacting duos of cracks
Joel Marthelot, Jose Bico, Francisco Melo +1
When a thin film moderately adherent to a substrate is subjected to residual stress, the cooperation between fracture and delamination leads to unusual fracture patterns, such as s…
Self-replicating cracks: a collaborative fracture mode in thin films
Joel Marthelot, Benoit Roman, Jose Bico +3
Straight cracks are observed in thin coatings under residual tensile stress, resulting into the classical network pattern observed in china crockery, old paintings or dry mud. Here…
Elasto-capillary collapse of floating structures - Non-linear response of elastic structures under capillary forces
N. Adami, A. Delbos, B. Roman +2
Flexible rings and rectangle structures floating at the surface of water are prone to deflect under the action of surface pressure induced by the addition of surfactant molecules o…
Random blisters on stickers: metrology through defects
Y. Aoyanagi, J. Hure, J. Bico +1
Blisters are commonly observed when an adhesive sheet is carelessly deposited on a plate. Although such blisters are usually not desired for practical applications, we show through…
Stamping and wrinkling of elastic plates
J. Hure, B. Roman, J. Bico
We study the peculiar wrinkling pattern of an elastic plate stamped into a spherical mold. We show that the wavelength of the wrinkles decreases with their amplitude, but reaches a…
