Coalescence of viscous blisters under an elastic sheet
W-E. Khatla, L. Duchemin, A. Eddi +1
We study the coalescence of identical viscous blisters beneath an elastic sheet both experimentally and numerically. Using a time-resolved synthetic schlieren technique, we measure…
Tunable Thin Elasto-Drops
Antonin Eddi, Stéphane Perrard, Jishen Zhang
We present an experimental method to fabricate centimetric thin elastic capsules with highly uniform thickness and negligible bending stiffness using silicone elastomers. In our ex…
High-resolution measurement of sea ice mechanical characteristics using Distributed Acoustic Sensing
Sébastien Kuchly, Ludovic Moreau, Vasco Zanchi +6
Sea ice mechanical properties are involved in dynamical processes acting from the scale of meters to several hundred kilometers. The current rapid changes in the state of polar sea…
Distributed network of smartphone sensors: a new tool for scientific field measurements
J. Zhang, N. Mokus, J. Casoli +2
Smartphones sensors are now commonly used by a worldwide audience thanks to their availability, high connectivity, and versatility. Here, we present a methodology to use a collecti…
Wave induced fracture of a sea ice analog
Baptiste Auvity, Laurent Duchemin, Antonin Eddi +1
We study at the laboratory scale the rupture of thin floating sheets made of a brittle material under a wave-induced mechanical forcing. We show that the rupture occurs where the c…
Resonance of an object floating within a surface wavefield
Sébastien Kuchly, Wilson Reino, Kyle McKee +3
We examine the interaction between floating cylindrical objects and surface waves in the gravity regime. Since the impact of resonance phenomena associated with floating bodies, pa…
