Particle size selection in capillary instability of locally heated co-axial fiber
Saviz Mowlavi, Isha Shukla, PT Brun +1
Harnessing fluidic instabilities to produce structures with robust and regular properties has recently emerged as a new fabrication paradigm. This is exemplified in the work of Gum…
Curvature regularization near contacts with stretched elastic tubes
Bhargav Rallabandi, Joel Marthelot, P. -T. Brun +1
Bringing a rigid object into contact with a soft elastic tube causes the tube to conform to the surface of the object, resulting in contact lines. The curvature of the tube walls n…
Oscillations of confined fibers transported in microchannels
Mathias Nagel, Pierre-Thomas Brun, Helene Berthet +3
We investigate the trajectories of rigid fibers as they are transported in a pressure-driven flow, at low Reynolds number, in shallow Hele Shaw cells. The transverse confinement an…
The surprising dynamics of a chain on a pulley: Lift-off and snapping
Pierre-Thomas Brun, Basile Audoly, Alain Goriely +1
The motion of weights attached to a chain or string moving on a frictionless pulley is a classic problem of introductory physics used to understand the relationship between force a…
