Abstract: We study the dynamics of threads of monodisperse droplets, including droplet chains and multi-chains, in which the droplets are interconnected by capillary bridges of another immiscible liquid phase. This system represents wet soft-granular matter –… read more here.

Abstract: This paper contains a thorough investigation into plane-strain electroelastic surface instabilities of dielectric elastomers. We employ a systematic approach to our investigation, introducing three ways to actuate an elastomer device, namely, actuation by means of… read more here.
