Soft beams: when capillarity induces axial compression
Sébastien Neukirch, Arnaud Antkowiak, Jean-Jacques Marigo
We study the interaction of an elastic beam with a liquid drop in the case where bending and extensional effects are both present. We use a variational approach to derive equilibri…
Elastocapillary Snapping: Capillarity Induces Snap-Through Instabilities in Small Elastic Beams
Aurélie Fargette, Sébastien Neukirch, Arnaud Antkowiak
We report on the capillary-induced snapping of elastic beams. We show that a millimeter-sized water drop gently deposited on a thin buckled polymer strip may trigger an elastocapil…
The bending of an elastic beam by a liquid drop: A variational approach
Sebastien Neukirch, Arnaud Antkowiak, Jean-Jacques Marigo
We study the interaction of a liquid drop with an elastic beam in the case where bending effects dominate. We use a variational approach to derive equilibrium equations for the sys…
Elasto-capillary meniscus: Pulling out a soft strip sticking to a liquid surface
Marco Rivetti, Arnaud Antkowiak
A liquid surface touching a solid usually deforms in a near-wall meniscus region. In this work, we replace part of the free surface with a soft polymer and examine the shape of thi…
