Elastocapillary coalescence of plates and pillars.
When a fluid-immersed array of supported plates or pillars is dried, evaporation leads to the formation of menisci on the tips of the plates or pillars that bring them together to form complex patterns. Building on prior experimental observations, we use a combination of theory and computation to understand the nature of this instability and its evolution in both the two- and three-dimensional ...
متن کاملContinuum dynamics of elastocapillary coalescence and arrest
The surface-tension–driven coalescence of wet hair, nano-pillars and supported lamellae immersed in an evaporating liquid is eventually arrested elastically. To characterize this at a continuum level, we start from a discrete microscopic model of the process and derive a mesoscopic theory that couples the inhomogeneous dynamics of drying to the capillary forcing and elastic bending of the lamel...
متن کاملElastocapillary coalescence: aggregation and fragmentation with a maximal size.
Aggregation processes generally lead to broad distributions of sizes involving exponential tails. Here, experiments on the capillary-driven coalescence of regularly spaced flexible structures yields a self-similar distribution of sizes with no tail. At a given step, the physical process imposes a maximal size for the aggregates, which appears as the relevant scale for the distribution. A simple...
متن کاملAn elastocapillary model of wood-fibre collapse.
An elastocapillary model for drying-induced collapse is proposed. We consider a circular elastic membrane with a hole at the centre that is deformed by the capillary pressure of simply and doubly connected menisci. The membrane overlays a cylindrical cavity with rigid walls, trapping a prescribed volume of water. This geometry may be suitable for studying structural failures and stiction in mic...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
