Controlled Locomotion of a Minimal Soft Structure by Stick-Slip Nonlinearity
Thomas Barois, A. Boucherie, L. Tadrist +1
We present a locomotion mechanism that uses the stick-slip transition of a soft passive structure with an internal mechanical resonance. The structure is harmonically driven by a g…
Transition to stress focusing for locally curved sheets
Thomas Barois, Ilyes Jalisse, Loïc Tadrist +1
A rectangular thin elastic sheet is deformed by forcing a contact between two points at the middle of its length. A transition to buckling with stress focusing is reported for the…
Faraday instability and subthreshold Faraday waves: surface waves emitted by walkers
Loic Tadrist, Jeong-Bo Shim, Tristan Gilet +1
A walker is a fluid entity comprising a bouncing droplet coupled to the waves that it generates at the surface of a vibrated bath. Thanks to this coupling, walkers exhibit a series…
Are leaves optimally designed for self-support? An investigation on giant monocots
Loic Tadrist, Baptiste Darbois Texier
Leaves are the organs that intercept light and create photosynthesis. Efficient light interception is provided by leaves oriented orthogonal to most of the sun rays. Except in the…
