Coiling of an elastic beam inside a disk: A model for spider-capture silk
Hervé Elettro, Fritz Vollrath, Sébastien Neukirch +1
Motivated by recent experimental observations of capillary-induced spooling of fibers inside droplets both in spider capture silk and in synthetic systems, we investigate the behav…

Drop-on-coilable-fibre systems exhibit negative stiffness events and transitions in coiling morphology
Hervé Elettro, Sébastien Neukirch, Fritz Vollrath +1
We investigate the mechanics of elastic fibres carrying liquid droplets. In such systems, buckling may localize inside the drop cavity if the fibre is thin enough. This so-called d…
