Lubrication of soft viscoelastic solids
Lubrication flows appear in many applications in engineering, biophysics, and in nature. Separation of surfaces and minimisation of friction and wear is achieved when the lubrication fluid builds up a lift force. In this paper we analyse soft lubricated contacts by treating the solid walls as viscoelastic: soft materials are typically not purely elastic, but dissipate energy under dynamical loa...
متن کاملBacteria slingshot more on soft surfaces
Adaptive responses greatly improve the competitive capacities of bacteria in diverse environments. Here, we investigate whether bacteria can adapt to a microenvironment with distinctive softness by examining the type-IV pili (TFP)-mediated motility of Pseudomonas aeruginosa cells on brush-like surfaces that are grafted with a layer of thermally sensitive polymer chains, where the softness of th...

Auzelyt In this paper a nano-molding process using a nature-created master is demonstrated. The eye of night moth Agotis exclamationis having 100 nm-scale structures on a curved surface is used as biomimetic master mold from which nanos...
متن کاملElastic heterogeneity of soft random solids
Spatial heterogeneity in the elastic properties of soft random solids is examined via a semi-microscopic model network using replica statistical mechanics. The elastic heterogeneity is characterized by random residual stress and Lamé coefficient fields, and the statistics of these quantities is inferred. Correlations involving the residual-stress field are found to be long ranged and governed b...
متن کاملSurface sulci in squeezed soft solids.
The squeezing of soft solids, the constrained growth of biological tissues, and the swelling of soft elastic solids such as gels can generate large compressive stresses at their surfaces. This causes the otherwise smooth surface of such a solid to become unstable when its stress exceeds a critical value. Previous analyses of the surface instability have assumed two-dimensional plane-strain cond...
