We address the mechanical effect of rigid boundaries on freezing suspensions. For this we perform the directional solidification of monodispersed suspensions in thin samples and we document the thickness h of the dense particle layer that…
The results obtained from molecular dynamics simulations of the friction at an interface between polymer melts and weakly attractive crystalline surfaces are reported. We consider a coarse-grained bead-spring model of linear chains with…
Methods based on local image features have recently shown promise for texture classification tasks, especially in the presence of large intra-class variation due to illumination, scale, and viewpoint changes. Inspired by the theories of…
When a body is exposed to external forces large local stresses may occur at the surface because of surface roughness. Surface stress concentration is important for many applications and in particular for fatigue due to pulsating external…
Slowly sheared particulate media like sand and suspensions flow heterogeneously as they yield via narrow shear bands where most of the strain is accumulated. Understanding shear band localization from microscopics is still a major…
An exact description of the complete jamming landscape is developed for a system of hard discs of diameter $\sigma$, confined between two lines separated by a distance $1+\sqrt{3/4} < H/\sigma < 2$. By considering all possible local packing…
We investigate how a localized curvature affects the dynamics of massless Dirac fermions in a curved surface. We consider a smooth bump with axial symmetry, adopting two specific geometric models, namely a Gaussian and a volcano-like bumps.…
We investigate methods for determining if a planar surface contains geometric deviations (e.g., protrusions, objects, divots, or cliffs) using only an instantaneous measurement from a miniature optical time-of-flight sensor. The key to our…
The formation of periodic wrinkles in soft layered materials due to mechanical instabilities is prevalent in nature and has been proposed for use in multiple applications. However, such phenomena have been explored predominantly in…
Contacts between particles in dense, sheared suspensions are believed to underpin much of their rheology. Roughness and adhesion are known to constrain the relative motion of particles, and thus globally affect the shear response, but an…
This note describes a method for detecting dense random texture using fully connected points sampled on image edges. An edge image is randomly sampled with points, the standard L2 distance is calculated between all connected points in a…
The transition from stick to slip at a dry frictional interface occurs through the breaking of the junctions between the two contacting surfaces. Typically, interactions between the junctions through the bulk lead to rupture fronts…
The unconventional thermal properties of jammed amorphous solids are directly related to their density of vibrational states. While the vibrational spectrum of jammed soft sphere solids has been fully described, the vibrational spectrum of…
We investigate the interface of a glass-forming fluid showing non-Newtonian rheology. By applying shear flow in the interface, we detect that the surface tension depends on the shear rate. Importantly, the standard way of determining…
Distance-based dynamic texture recognition is an important research field in multimedia processing with applications ranging from retrieval to segmentation of video data. Based on the conjecture that the most distinctive characteristic of a…
We experimentally probe the vicinity of the jamming point J, located at a density $\phi$ corresponding to random close packing ($\phi_{rcp} = 0.842$), in two dimensional, bidisperse packings of foam bubbles. We vary the density of the foam…
The rupture of dry frictional interfaces occurs through the propagation of fronts breaking the contacts at the interface. Recent experiments have shown that the velocities of these rupture fronts range from quasi-static velocities…
Liquid wetting of a surface is omnipresent in nature and the advance of micro-fabrication and assembly techniques in recent years offers increasing ability to control this phenomenon. Here, we identify how surface roughness influences the…
We consider a dilute system of small hard beads or hard fibers immersed in a very soft gel able to withstand large elastic deformations. Because of its low to very low shear modulus, this system is very sensitive to small forces. We…
Under an applied traction, highly concentrated suspensions of solid particles in fluids can turn from a state in which they flow to a state in which they counteract the traction as an elastic solid: a shear-jammed state. Remarkably, the…
