Rotation of a submerged finite cylinder moving down a soft incline
Baudouin Saintyves, Bhargav Rallabandi, Theo Jules +5
A submerged finite cylinder moving under its own weight along a soft incline lifts off and slides at a steady velocity while also spinning. Here, we experimentally quantify the ste…
Self-sustained lift and low friction via soft lubrication
Baudouin Saintyves, Théo Jules, Thomas Salez +1
Relative motion between soft wet solids arises in a number of applications in natural and artificial settings, and invariably couples elastic deformation and fluid flow. We explore…
Rate-dependent elastic hysteresis during the peeling of Pressure Sensitive Adhesives
Richard Villey, Costantino Creton, Pierre-Philippe Cortet +7
The modelling of the adherence energy during peeling of Pressure Sensitive Adhesives (PSA) has received much attention since the 1950's, uncovering several factors that aim at expl…
Digital instability of a confined elastic meniscus
John S. Biggins, Baudouin Saintyves, Zhiyan Wei +2
Thin soft elastic layers serving as joints between relatively rigid bodies may function as sealants, thermal, electrical, or mechanical insulators, bearings, or adhesives. When suc…
