Softening and Yielding of Soft Glassy Materials
Simon Dagois-Bohy, Ellák Somfai, Brian P. Tighe +1
Solids deform and fluids flow, but soft glassy materials, such as emulsions, foams, suspensions, and pastes, exhibit an intricate mix of solid and liquid-like behavior. While much…
A characteristic lengthscale causes anomalous size effects and boundary programmability in mechanical metamaterials
Corentin Coulais, Chris Kettenis, Martin van Hecke
The architecture of mechanical metamaterialsis designed to harness geometry, non-linearity and topology to obtain advanced functionalities such as shape morphing, programmability a…
Coupling the Leidenfrost Effect and Elastic Deformations to Power Sustained Bouncing
Scott R. Waitukaitis, Antal Zuiderwijk, Anton Souslov +2
The Leidenfrost effect occurs when an object near a hot surface vaporizes rapidly enough to lift itself up and hover. Although well-understood for liquids and stiff sublimable soli…
