Random sequential adsorption of spheres on a cylinder
Edvin Memet, Nabila Tanjeem, Charlie Greboval +2
Inspired by observations of beads packed on a thin string in such systems as sea-grapes and dental plaque, we study the random sequential adsorption of spheres on a cylinder. We de…
Dynamics of growth and form in prebiotic vesicles
Teresa Ruiz-Herrero, Thomas G. Fai, L. Mahadevan
The growth, form, and division of prebiotic vesicles, membraneous bags of fluid of varying components and shapes is hypothesized to have served as the substrate for the origin of l…
Elastic Cheerios effect: self-assembly of cylinders on a soft solid
Aditi Chakrabarti, Louis Ryan, Manoj K. Chaudhury +1
A rigid cylinder placed on a soft gel deforms its surface. When multiple cylinders are placed on the surface, they interact with each other via the topography of the deformed gel w…
Elastocapillary coalescence of plates and pillars
Zhiyan Wei, Tobias Schneider, Jungchul Kim +3
When a fluid-immersed array of lamellae or filaments that is attached to a substrate is dried, evaporation leads to the formation of menisci on the tips of the plates or pillars th…
Fluid driven fingering instability of a confined elastic meniscus
J. S. Biggins, Z. Wei, L. Mahadevan
When a fluid is pumped into a cavity in a confined elastic layer, at a critical pressure, destabilizing fingers of fluid invade the elastic solid along its meniscus (Saintyves, Dau…
Exactly isochoric deformations of soft solids
J. S. Biggins, Z. Wei, L. Mahadevan
Many materials of contemporary interest, such as gels, biological tissues and elastomers, are easily deformed but essentially incompressible. Traditional linear theory of elasticit…
