A sheet on deformable sphere: "wrinklogami" patterns suppress curvature-induced delamination
Evan Hohlfeld, Benny Davidovitch
The adhesion of a stiff film onto a curved substrate often generates elastic stresses in the film that eventually give rise to its delamination. Here we predict that delamination o…
Coexistence of Scale-Invariant States in Incompressible Elastomers
Evan Hohlfeld
Cavitation and sulcification of soft elastomers are two examples of thresholdless, nonlinear instabilities that evade detection by linearization. I show that the onset of such inst…
Dominance of extreme statistics in a prototype many-body Brownian ratchet
Evan Hohlfeld, Phillip L. Geissler
Many forms of cell motility rely on Brownian ratchet mechanisms that involve multiple stochastic processes. We present a computational and theoretical study of the nonequilibrium s…
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…
Quantum Phase Transitions and the Breakdown of Classical General Relativity
G. Chapline, E. Hohlfeld, R. B. Laughlin +1
It is proposed that the event horizon of a black hole is a quantum phase transition of the vacuum of space-time analogous to the liquid-vapor critical point of a bose fluid. The eq…
