Sound of Interfacial Flows: Unraveling the Forces Shaping Fast Capillary Flows using their Acoustic Signature
Adrien Bussonnière, Arnaud Antkowiak, François Ollivier +2
Many familiar events feature a distinctive sound: paper crumpling or tearing, squeaking doors, drumming rain or boiling water. Such characteristic sounds actually carry a profusion…
The heavy windlass: Buckling and coiling of an elastic rod inside a liquid drop in the presence of gravity
Hervé Elettro, Arnaud Antkowiak, Sébastien Neukirch
A liquid drop sitting on an elastic rod may act as a winch, or windlass, and pull the rod inside itself and coil it. This windlass effect has been shown to be generated by surface…
Spontaneous surface reserve formation in wicked membranes bestow extreme stretchability
Paul Grandgeorge, Natacha Krins, Aurélie Hourlier-Fargette +3
Soft stretchable materials are key for arising technologies such as stretchable electronics or batteries, smart textiles, biomedical devices, tissue engineering and soft robotics.…
Coiling of an elastic beam inside a disk: A model for spider-capture silk
Hervé Elettro, Fritz Vollrath, Sébastien Neukirch +1
Motivated by recent experimental observations of capillary-induced spooling of fibers inside droplets both in spider capture silk and in synthetic systems, we investigate the behav…
In-drop capillary spooling of spider capture thread inspires hybrid fibers with mixed solid-liquid mechanical properties
Hervé Elettro, Sébastien Neukirch, Fritz Vollrath +1
An essential element in the web-trap architecture, the capture silk spun by ecribellate orb spiders consists of glue droplets sitting astride a silk filament. Mechanically this thr…
