Solid drops: large capillary deformations of immersed elastic rods.
Under the effect of surface tension, a blob of liquid adopts a spherical shape when immersed in another fluid. We demonstrate experimentally that soft, centimeter-size elastic solids can exhibit a similar behavior: when immersed into a liquid, a gel having a low elastic modulus undergoes large, reversible deformations. We analyze three fundamental types of deformations of a slender elastic soli...
متن کاملOn End Rotation for Open Rods Undergoing Large Deformations
We give a careful discussion of end rotation in elastic rods, focusing on ambiguities that arise if arbitrarily large deformations are allowed. By introducing a closure and restricting to a class of deformations we show that a rigorous treatment of end rotation can be obtained. The results underpin various non-rigorous discussions in the literature and serve to promote the variational analysis ...
متن کاملAnalysis of contact of elastic rods subject to large displacements
we present a mathematical model describing the motion of two elastic rods in contact. The model allows for large displacements and is essentially based on Cosserat’s modelling of rods. Using a penalty technique, we prove existence of a static solution in the case of a unique rod. The contact modelling involves unilateral constraints on the central lines of the rods. Existence is also proved for...
متن کاملStabilityofdeformations of Elastic Rods
Mechanics is a fascinating field of physics. Its main purpose is to study the interaction of particles in the presence of forces such as gravity. In contrast to the dynamics of particles, the study of continuous media, such as elastic bodies, is challenging and still today not entirely well-understood. This is due to the fact that continuous media behave in numerous and complex ways. For exampl...
متن کاملCapillary deformations of bendable films.
We address the partial wetting of liquid drops on ultrathin solid sheets resting on a deformable foundation. Considering the membrane limit of sheets that can relax compression through wrinkling at negligible energetic cost, we revisit the classical theory for the contact of liquid drops on solids. Our calculations and experiments show that the liquid-solid-vapor contact angle is modified from ...
