Peeling from a liquid
Deepak Kumar, Nuoya Zhou, Fabian Brau +2
We establish the existence of a cusp in the curvature of a solid sheet at its contact with a liquid subphase. We study two configurations in floating sheets where the solid-vapor-l…
The θ-formulation of the 2D elastica -- Buckling and boundary layer theory
Gregory Kozyreff, Emmanuel Siéfert, Basile Radisson +1
The equations of a planar elastica under pressure can be rewritten in a useful form by parametrising the variables in terms of the local orientation angle, , instead of the arc…
Effect of external tension on the wetting of an elastic sheet
Gregory Kozyreff, Benny Davidovitch, S. Ganga Prasath +2
Recent studies of elasto-capillary phenomena have triggered interest in a basic variant of the classical Young-Laplace-Dupré (YLD) problem: The capillary interaction between a liqu…
Quantum three body problems using harmonic oscillator bases with different sizes
B. Silvestre-Brac, R. Bonnaz, C. Semay +1
We propose a new treatment for the quantum three-body problem. It is based on an expansion of the wave function on harmonic oscillator functions with different sizes in the Jacobi…
From cylindrical to stretching ridges and wrinkles in twisted ribbons
Huy Pham Dinh, Vincent Démery, Benny Davidovitch +2
Twisted ribbons subjected to a tension exhibit a remarkably rich morphology, from smooth and wrinkled helicoids, to cylindrical or faceted patterns. These shapes are intimately rel…
Wrinkles and folds in a fluid-supported sheet of finite size
Oz Oshri, Fabian Brau, Haim Diamant
A laterally confined thin elastic sheet lying on a liquid substrate displays regular undulations, called wrinkles, characterized by a spatially extended energy distribution and a w…
