Drops on soft solids: Free energy and double transition of contact angles
Luuk A. Lubbers, Joost H. Weijs, Lorenzo Botto +3
The equilibrium shape of liquid drops on elastic substrates is determined by minimising elastic and capillary free energies, focusing on thick incompressible substrates. The proble…
Capillarity of soft amorphous solids: a microscopic model for surface stress
Joost H. Weijs, Jacco H. Snoeijer, Bruno Andreotti
The elastic deformation of a soft solid induced by capillary forces crucially relies on the excess stress inside the solid-liquid interface. While for a liquid-liquid interface thi…
Elasto-capillarity at the nanoscale: on the coupling between elasticity and surface energy in soft solids
Joost H. Weijs, Bruno Andreotti, Jacco H. Snoeijer
The capillary forces exerted by liquid drops and bubbles on a soft solid are directly measured using molecular dynamics simulations. The force on the solid by the liquid near the c…
Suppression and emergence of granular segregation under cyclic shear
Matt Harrington, Joost H. Weijs, Wolfgang Losert
While convective flows are implicated in many granular segregation processes, the associated particle-scale rearrangements are not well understood. A three-dimensional bidisperse m…
