Sculpting liquids with ultrathin shells
Yousra Timounay, Alexander R. Hartwell, Mengfei He +4
Thin elastic films can spontaneously attach to liquid interfaces, offering a platform for tailoring their physical, chemical, and optical properties. Current understanding of the e…
Colloidal transport in bacteria suspensions: from bacteria scattering to anomalous and enhanced diffusion
Antoine Lagarde, Noémie Dagès, Takahiro Nemoto +3
Colloids coupled to a bath of swimming cells generically display enhanced diffusion. This transport dynamics stems from a subtle interplay between the active and passive particles…
Geometry underlies the mechanical stiffening and softening of an indented floating film
Monica M. Ripp, Vincent Démery, Teng Zhang +1
A basic paradigm underlying the Hookean mechanics of amorphous, isotropic solids is that small deformations are proportional to the magnitude of external forces. However, slender b…
Elastic interactions in damage models of brittle failure
Vincent Démery, Véronique Dansereau, Estelle Berthier +2
The failure of brittle solids involves, before macroscopic rupture, power-law distributed avalanches of local rupture events whereby microcracks nucleate and grow, which are also o…
Geometry-driven folding of a floating annular sheet
Joseph D. Paulsen, Vincent Démery, K. Buğra Toga +4
Predicting the large-amplitude deformations of thin elastic sheets is difficult due to the complications of self-contact, geometric nonlinearities, and a multitude of low-lying ene…
