In this paper, the MecaWet group investigates the mechanics of two asymmetric ribbons bound at one end and pulled apart at the other ends. They characterize the elastic junction near the bonding and conceptualize it as a bending boundary layer.... (...)

We consider self-organization and memory formation in a mesoscopic model of an amorphous solid subject to a protocol of random shear confined to a strain range ±𝜖max. We develop proper readout protocols to show that the response of the driven ... (...)

Les paysages de dunes ne se limitent pas aux grandes collines ondulantes des déserts. Entre les dunes principales, sur des zones parfois compactes ou gravillonneuses, apparaissent aussi de petites formes sableuses de quelques mètres. Trop... (...)
