Elastocapillary instability under partial wetting conditions: bending versus buckling.
The elastocapillary instability of a flexible plate plunged in a liquid bath is analyzed theoretically. We show that the plate can bend due to two separate destabilizing mechanisms, when the liquid is partially wetting the solid. For contact angles θ(e) > π/2, the capillary forces acting tangential to the surface are compressing the plate and can induce a classical buckling instability. However...
متن کاملStability of a finite-length rivulet under partial wetting conditions
We study the stability of a finite-length fluid rivulet at rest on a partially wetting surface. We consider the problem by including the intermolecular force (van der Waals interaction) within the framework of the lubrication approximation. The results are validated by comparison with numerical simulations of the full nonlinear equation. For finite length rivulets, we show that the distance bet...
متن کاملElastocapillary deformations on partially-wetting substrates: rival contact-line models.
A partially-wetting liquid can deform the underlying elastic substrate upon which it rests. This situation requires the development of theoretical models to describe the wetting forces imparted by the drop onto the solid substrate, particularly those at the contact-line. We construct a general solution using a displacement potential function for the elastic deformations within a finite elastic ...

متن کاملElastic response, buckling, and instability of microtubules under radial indentation.
We tested the mechanical properties of single microtubules by lateral indentation with the tip of an atomic force microscope. Indentations up to approximately 3.6 nm, i.e., 15% of the microtubule diameter, resulted in an approximately linear elastic response, and indentations were reversible without hysteresis. At an indentation force of around 0.3 nN we observed an instability corresponding to...
