Mapping the discrete folding landscape
João C. Neves, Bernardo R. Marques, Cristóvão S. Dias +1
Folding is emerging as a promising manufacturing process to transform flat materials into functional structures, offering efficiency by reducing the need for welding, gluing, and m…
Ranked percolation model for the caking time of amorphous molecular powders
Vasco C. Braz, Nuno A. M. Araújo
When amorphous molecular powders are exposed to high humidity levels or temperatures, the particle viscosity increases due to plasticization, promoting the formation of sinter brid…
Robust Critical Connectivity Threshold in Ranked Percolation of Granular Packings
Vasco C. Braz, N. A. M. Araújo
The formation of sintering bridges in amorphous powders affects both flow behavior and perceived material quality. When sintering is driven by surface tension, bridges emerge seque…
Rigid m-percolation in limited-valence gels
J. C. Neves, J. M. Tavares, N. A. M. Araújo +1
Determining the onset of rigidity in gels is a fundamental challenge with significant practical implications across different applications. Limited-valence, or patchy-particle syst…
