Optimal rigid brush for fluid capture Open
Assemblies of slender structures forming brushes are common in daily life from sweepers to pastry brushes and paintbrushes. These types of porous objects can easily trap liquid in their interstices when removed from a liquid bath. This pro…

Accelerated snapping of slender beams under lateral forcing Open
The hysteretic snapping under lateral forcing of a compressed, buckled beam is fundamental for many devices and mechanical metamaterials. For a single-tip lateral pusher, an important limitation is that snapping requires the pusher to cros…

Parallel assemblies of slender structures forming brushes are common in our daily life from sweepers to pastry brushes and paintbrushes. This type of porous objects can easily trap liquid in their interstices when removed from a liquid bat…

Controlled pathways and sequential information processing in serially coupled mechanical hysterons Open
The complex sequential response of frustrated materials results from the interactions between material bits called hysterons. Hence, a central challenge is to understand and control these interactions, so that materials with targeted pathw…

Measurement of Capillary Forces Using Two Fibers Dynamically Withdrawn from a Liquid: Evidence for an Enhanced Cheerios Effect Open
We study the capillary attraction force between two fibers dynamically withdrawn from a bath. We propose an experimental method to measure this force and show that its magnitude strongly increases with the retraction speed by up to a facto…

Complex pathways and memory in compressed corrugated sheets Open
Significance Describing the response of materials is central to physics, yet the complex response of frustrated media—featuring multistep pathways which can be encoded by sequences of switching material bits—is poorly understood. Here we i…

Mechanics and Energetics of Electromembranes Open
The recent discovery of electroactive polymers has shown great promises in the field of soft robotics and was logically followed by experimental, numerical, and theoretical developments. Most of these studies were concerned with systems en…

Elastocapillary adhesion of a soft cap on a rigid sphere Open
The capillary adhesion of soft shells on spheres of different curvature gives rise to a family of complex adhesion patterns.

Modeling shape selection of buckled dielectric elastomers Open
A dielectric elastomer whose edges are held fixed will buckle, given a sufficiently applied voltage, resulting in a nontrivial out-of-plane deformation. We study this situation numerically using a nonlinear elastic model which decouples tw…
