Capillary fracture of soft gels

PHYSICAL REVIEW E, 88(4).

By: J. Bostwick n & K. Daniels n 

MeSH headings : Gels; Hydrodynamics; Mechanical Phenomena; Surface Tension; Surface-Active Agents / chemistry
TL;DR: A model for crack initiation by treating the gel as a linear elastic solid and computing the deformations within the substrate from the liquid-solid wetting forces is developed and reveals that the depth of the gel is an important factor in the fracture process, as it can help mitigate large surface tractions.

2013 journal article

Substrate constraint modifies the Rayleigh spectrum of vibrating sessile drops

PHYSICAL REVIEW E, 88(2).

By: C. Chang *, J. Bostwick n, P. Steen * & S. Daniel *

TL;DR: This work presents the method of identifying each mode uniquely, through association with spherical harmonics and according to their geometric patterns, and compares the measured resonance frequencies of drops to theoretical predictions using both the classical theory of Lord Rayleigh and Lamb and a prediction by Bostwick and Steen that explicitly considers the effect of the solid substrate on drop dynamics.
