Beam model for the elastic properties of material with spherical voids
Sascha Heitkam, Wiebke Drenckhan, Denis Weaire +1
The elastic properties of a material with spherical voids of equal volume are analysed using a new model, with particular attention paid to the hexagonal close-packed and the face-…
Elastic properties of solid material with various arrangements of spherical voids
Sascha Heitkam, Wiebke Drenckhan, Thomas Titscher +5
In this work the linear elastic properties of materials containing spherical voids are calculated and compared using finite element simulations. The focus is on homogeneous solid m…
The surface tells it all: Relationship between volume and surface fraction of liquid dispersions
Emilie Forel, Emmanuelle Rio, Maxime Schneider +4
The properties of liquid dispersions, such as foams or emulsions, depend strongly on the volume fraction of the continuous phase. Concentrating on the example of foams, we show…
Phyllotaxis, disk packing and Fibonacci numbers
Adil Mughal, Denis Weaire
We consider the evolution of the packing of disks (representing the position of buds) that are introduced at the top of a surface which has the form of a growing stem. They migrate…
