Solutions to the Einstein equation that represent the superposition of static isolated bodies with axially symmetry are presented. The equations nonlinearity yields singular structures (strut and membranes) to equilibrate the bodies. The…
A thin plate or slab, prepared so that opposite faces have different surface stresses, will bend as a result of the stress difference. We have developed a classical molecular dynamics (MD) formulation where (similar in spirit to…
Solid interfaces have intrinsic elasticity. However, in most experiments, this is obscured by bulk stresses. Through microscopic observations of the contact-line geometry of a partially wetting droplet on an anisotropically stretched…
Liquid foams are archetypal athermal amorphous solids whose elasticity arises from the jamming of densely packed bubbles. We investigate the stress relaxation of non-ageing liquid foams following flow cessation, using fast X-ray…
The orbital dynamics of most planetary satellites is governed by the quadrupole moment from the equatorial bulge of the host planet and the tidal field from the Sun. On the Laplace surface, the long-term orbital evolution driven by the…
By extending the theoretical framework derived in our previous study [Y. Imaizumi et al., J. Chem. Phys. 153, 034701 (2020)], we successfully calculated the solid-liquid (SL) and solid-vapor (SV) interfacial tensions of a simple…
Young's classic analysis of the equilibrium of a three-phase contact line ignores the out-of-plane component of the liquid-vapor surface tension. While it has long been appreciated that this unresolved force must be balanced by elastic…
What characterises a solid is its way to respond to external stresses. Ordered solids, such crystals, display an elastic regime followed by a plastic one, both well understood microscopically in terms of lattice distortion and dislocations.…
This paper studies Laplace's equation $-\Delta\,u=0$ in an exterior region $U\varsubsetneq{\mathbb R}^N$, when $N\geq3$, subject to the nonlinear boundary condition $\frac{\partial…
The evolution equation for the shear is reobtained for a spherically symmetric anisotropic, viscous dissipative fluid distribution, which allows us to investigate conditions for the stability of the shear-free condition. The specific case…
Depletion of the liquid density near a solid surface with a weak long-range fluid-surface interaction was studied by computer simulations of the liquid-vapor coexistence of a LJ fluid confined in slitlike pores. In a wide temperature range…
Even though the study of interfacial phenomena dates back to Laplace and was formalised by Gibbs, it appears that some concepts and relations among them are still causing some confusion and debates in the literature, particularly for…
The theory of plate tectonics describes some basic global tectonic processes as a result of motion of lithospheric plates. The boundary between lithosphere and asthenosphere (LAB) is defined by a difference in response to stress. Position…
Statically indeterminate systems are experimentally demonstrated to be in fact dynamical at the microscopic scale. Take the classic ladder-wall problem, for instance. Depending on the Young's modulus of the wall, it may take up to twenty…
The yield stress is a defining feature of amorphous materials which is difficult to analyze theoretically, because it stems from the strongly non-linear response of an arrested solid to an applied deformation. Mode-coupling theory predicts…
The dry frictional contact between two solid surfaces is well-known to obey Coulomb friction laws. In particular, the static friction force resisting the relative lateral (tangential) motion of solid surfaces, initially at rest, is known to…
We discuss different equilibrium problems for hyperelastic solids immersed in a fluid at rest. In particular, solids are subjected to gravity and hydrostatic pressure on their immersed boundaries. By means of a variational approach, we…
Historically, meteorological and climate studies have been prompted by the need for understanding precipitation to have better logistics in food production. Despite all efforts, nonlinearity in atmosphere dynamics is still a source of…
This work focuses on the interfacial dynamics with interfacial mass flux in the presence of acceleration and surface tension. We employ the general matrix method to find the fundamental solutions for the linearized boundary value problem…
Surface stresses have recently emerged as a key player in the mechanics of highly compliant solids. The classic theories of contact mechanics describe adhesion with a compliant substrate as a competition between surface energies driving…
