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…
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…
Measuring the local mechanical properties of a floating elastic sheet
G. Le Doudic, M. Jafari, J. Barckicke +2
Polar regions are covered by sea ice, which can be seen as a thin solid elastic sheet with heterogeneous mechanical properties. The dynamics of deformation of a floating solid shee…
