Papers
Self-sustained lift and low friction via soft lubrication
Baudouin Saintyves,Théo Jules,Théo Jules,Thomas Salez,Thomas Salez,Lakshminarayanan Mahadevan +5 more
TL;DR: A simple scaling approach that couples the cylinder-induced flow to substrate deformation allows the elastohydrodynamic lift that underlies the self-sustained lubricated motion of the cylinder to be explained, consistent with recent theoretical predictions.

Local mechanical description of an elastic fold
TL;DR: An elastic model of the fold is built upon a continuous description of both the faces and the crease as a thin sheet with a non-flat reference configuration that yields the local fold properties and explains the significant differences between tensile and compression regimes.
Plasticity and aging of folded elastic sheets
TL;DR: A mapping between this quantity and the macroscopic state of the system that allows the system to track its reference configuration along an arbitrary loading path, resulting in a powerful monitoring and design tool for crease-based metamaterials.

Local Mechanical Description of an Elastic Fold
TL;DR: In this paper, a crease within a polymer sheet is modeled as an elastic hinge, and an asymptotic study of the fold deformation is performed to determine the local shape of the crease and identify the origin of its mechanical behaviour.

Rotation of a submerged finite cylinder moving down a soft incline
Baudouin Saintyves,Baudouin Saintyves,Bhargav Rallabandi,Théo Jules,Théo Jules,Jesse T. Ault,Thomas Salez,Clarissa Schönecker,Clarissa Schönecker,Howard A. Stone,Lakshminarayanan Mahadevan +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a submerged finite cylinder moving under its own weight along a soft incline lifts off and slides at a steady velocity while also spinning, and it is shown theoretically that it is due to a combination of an elastohydrodynamic torque generated by flow in the variable gap, and the viscous friction on the edges of the finite-length cylinder.
