On the stability and growth of single myelin figures
Ling-Nan Zou, Sidney R. Nagel
Myelin figures are long thin cylindrical structures that typically grow as a dense tangle when water is added to the concentrated lamellar phase of certain surfactants. We show tha…
Drop Splashing on a Dry Smooth Surface
Lei Xu, Wendy W. Zhang, Sidney R. Nagel
The corona splash due to the impact of a liquid drop on a smooth dry substrate is investigated with high speed photography. A striking phenomenon is observed: splashing can be comp…
Stress transmission through three-dimensional granular crystals with stacking faults
Melissa J. Spannuth, Nathan W. Mueggenburg, Heinrich M. Jaeger +1
We explore the effect of stacking fault defects on the transmission of forces in three-dimensional face-centered-cubic granular crystals. An external force is applied to a small ar…
Jamming at Zero Temperature and Zero Applied Stress: the Epitome of Disorder
C. S. O'Hern, L. E. Silbert, A. J. Liu +1
We have studied how 2- and 3- dimensional systems made up of particles interacting with finite range, repulsive potentials jam (i.e., develop a yield stress in a disordered state)…
