Wrinkling instability of an inhomogeneously stretched viscous sheet

Siddarth Srinivasan, Zhiyan Wei, L. Mahadevan

Motivated by the redrawing of hot glass into thin sheets, we investigate the shape and stability of a thin viscous sheet that is inhomogeneously stretched in an imposed non-uniform…

Rotation of an immersed cylinder sliding near a thin elastic coating

Bhargav Rallabandi, Baudouin Saintyves, Theo Jules +4

It is known that an object translating parallel to a soft wall in a viscous fluid produces hydro- dynamic stresses that deform the wall, which, in turn, results in a lift force on…

Elastohydrodynamics of a sliding, spinning and sedimenting cylinder near a soft wall

Thomas Salez, L. Mahadevan

We consider the motion of a fluid-immersed negatively buoyant particle in the vicinity of a thin compressible elastic wall, a situation that arises in a variety of technological an…

2D and Axisymmetric Incompressible Elastic Green's Functions

J. S. Biggins, Z. Wei, L. Mahadevan

We compile a list of 2-D and axisymmetric Green's functions for isotropic full and half spaces, to complement our letter "Linear elasticity of incompressible solids". We also exten…

Scale and Nature of Sulcification Patterns

Evan Hohlfeld, L. Mahadevan

Sulci are surface folds commonly seen in strained soft elastomers and form via a strongly subsubcriticalcritical, yet scale-free instability. Treating the threshold for nonlinear i…

Unfolding the Sulcus

Evan Hohlfeld, L. Mahadevan

Sulci are localized furrows on the surface of soft materials that form by a compression-induced instability. We unfold this instability by breaking its natural scale and translatio…
