Faraday wave lattice as an elastic metamaterial
L. Domino, M. Tarpin, S. Patinet, and A. Eddi ; Phys. Rev. E 93, 050202(R), (2016)
Metamaterials enable the emergence of novel physical properties due to the existence of an underlying subwavelength structure. Here, we use the Faraday...

Effect of friction on the peeling test at zero-degrees
S. Ponce, J. Bico, B. Roman ; Soft Matter, 11, 9281-9290, (2015)
We describe the peeling of an elastomeric strip adhering to a glass plate through van der Waals interactions in the limit of a zero peeling angle. In contrast to classical...
