A unified model of ripples and dunes in water and planetary environments
Orencio Duran Vinent, Bruno Andreotti, Philippe Claudin +1
Subaqueous and aeolian bedforms are ubiquitous on Earth and other planetary environments. However, it is still unclear which hydrodynamical mechanisms lead to the observed variety…
Peeling an elastic film from a soft viscoelastic adhesive: experiments and scaling laws
Hugo Perrin, Antonin Eddi, Stefan Karpitschka +2
The functionality of adhesives relies on their response under the application of a load. Yet, it has remained a challenge to quantitatively relate the macroscopic dynamics of peeli…
Soft wetting and the Shuttleworth effect, at the crossroads between thermodynamics and mechanics
Bruno Andreotti, Jacco H. Snoeijer
Extremely compliant elastic materials, such as thin membranes or soft gels, can be deformed when wetted by a liquid drop. It is commonly assumed that the solid capillarity in "soft…
A flexible rheometer design to measure the visco-elastic response of soft solids over a wide range of frequency
Etienne Rolley, Jacco H. Snoeijer, Bruno Andreotti
We present a flexible set-up for determining the rheology of visco-elastic materials which is based on the mechanical response of a magnet deposited at the surface of a slab of mat…
Spreading on viscoelastic solids: Are contact angles selected by Neumann's law?
M. van Gorcum, S. Karpitschka, B. Andreotti +1
The spreading of liquid drops on soft substrates is extremely slow, owing to strong viscoelastic dissipation inside the solid. A detailed understanding of the spreading dynamics ha…
