AA << study the effects of a spatially-varying prestress τb(x) on 2D slip pulses, initially generated under a uniform τb a...

<< To understand fracture and make brittle materials more ductile, (AA) rely on modeling what happens at a crack tip. How...

<< When particles of a few tens of microns are spread on the surface of water, they aggregate under the action of capillary forces and...

AA << established an inverse correlation between the strength of the material and the cracks which grow inside it—both the maximum cra...

<< The performance of soft devices is limited by the fracture resistance of elastomers. (..) A key observation is that thi...

AA << simulate a two-dimensional array of droplets being compressed between two walls. The droplets are adhesive due to an attractive ...

<< Slow cracks may be simple, with no internal structure. The leading edge of a simple crack, the crack front, forms a sin...

<< Foams have unique properties that distinguish them from ordinary liquids and gases, and are ubiquitously observed in nature, both i...
