Fifty years of Schallamach waves: From rubber friction to nanoscale fracture
Koushik Viswanathan, Srinivasan Chandrasekar
The question of how soft polymers slide against hard surfaces is of significant scientific interest, given its practical implications. Specifically, such sytems commonly show inter…
Kinematic flow patterns in slow deformation of a dense granular material
Koushik Viswanathan, Anirban Mahato, Tejas G. Murthy +2
The kinematic flow pattern in slow deformation of a model dense granular medium is studied at high resolution using \emph{in situ} imaging, coupled with particle tracking. The defo…
The nucleation and propagation of solitary Schallamach waves
Koushik Viswanathan, Anirban Mahato, Srinivasan Chandrasekar
We isolate single Schallamach waves --- detachment fronts that mediate inhomogeneous sliding between an elastomer and a hard surface --- to study their creation and dynamics. Based…
Geometric treatment of conduction electron scattering by crystal lattice strains and dislocations
Koushik Viswanathan, Srinivasan Chandrasekar
A theory for conduction electron scattering by inhomogeneous crystal lattice strains is developed, based on the differential geometric treatment of deformations in solids. The resu…
