We investigate freely expanding sheets formed by ultrasoft gel beads, and liquid and viscoelastic drops, produced by the impact of the bead or drop on a silicon wafer covered with a thin layer of liquid nitrogen that suppresses viscous dissipation thanks to an inverse Leidenfrost effect. Our experiments show a unified behavior for the impact dynamics that holds for solids, liquids, and viscoelastic fluids and that we rationalize by properly taking into account elastocapillary effects. In this…

### Viscoelasticity and elastocapillarity effects in the impact of drops on a repellent surface.

• Engineering
Soft matter
• 2021
By using a generalized damped harmonic oscillator model, the role of capillarity, bulk elasticity and viscous dissipation in the expansion dynamics of all investigated samples are rationalized and the model reproduces accurately the experimental data for dmax and tmax.

### Biaxial extensional viscous dissipation in sheets expansion formed by impact of drops of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids

• Physics

We investigate freely expanding liquid sheets made of either simple Newtonian fluids or solutions of high molecular water-soluble polymer chains. A sheet is produced by the impact of a drop on a

• Engineering
Soft matter
• 2020
Large deformations of soft elastic beads spinning at high angular velocity in a denser background fluid are investigated theoretically, numerically, and experimentally and it is shown that their elastic modulus and interfacial energy constant can be simultaneously deduced from their equilibrium shape.

It is shown that self-similar wrinkling hierarchies develop, and dimples appear at the bottom surface of the shallowest samples, are the consequences of elastic instabilities.

Abstract The impact of a hydrogel sphere onto a granular target results in both the deformation of the sphere and the formation of a prominent topographic feature known as an impact crater on the

### Solid drops: large capillary deformations of immersed elastic rods.

• Engineering
Physical review letters
• 2013
It is demonstrated experimentally that soft, centimeter-size elastic solids can exhibit a similar behavior: when immersed into a liquid, a gel having a low elastic modulus undergoes large, reversible deformations.

### On the elasticity of an inertial liquid shock

Journal of Fluid Mechanics

A drop of low viscosity hitting a solid may bounce, provided that the material is highly hydrophobic. As a model of such a situation, we consider here the case of a very hot solid. Then, as

### Drop Impact on a Solid Surface

• Physics
• 2016
A drop hitting a solid surface can deposit, bounce, or splash. Splashing arises from the breakup of a fine liquid sheet that is ejected radially along the substrate. Bouncing and deposition depend

The normal impact of a drop of yield-stress fluid on a flat rigid surface is investigated experimentally. Using different model fluids (polymer microgels, clay suspensions) and impacted surfaces

### Bouncing gel balls: Impact of soft gels onto rigid surface

• Materials Science
• 2003
After being thrown onto a solid substrate, very soft spherical gels bounce repeatedly. Separate rheological measurements suggest that these balls can be treated as nearly elastic. The Hertz contact

### Liquid Droplets on a Highly Deformable Membrane.

• Physics
Physical review letters
• 2015
This work examines the deformation produced by microdroplets atop thin elastomeric and glassy free-standing films and finds that if the membrane has an anisotropic tension, the droplets are no longer spherical but become elongated along the direction of high tension.

### Solid surface tension measured by a liquid drop under a solid film

• Materials Science
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
• 2013
It is shown that a drop of liquid a few hundred microns in diameter placed under a solid, elastic, thin film causes it to bulge by tens of microns, demonstrating that compliant thin-film structures can be used to measure solid surface tensions.

### The impact of viscoplastic drops on a heated surface in the Leidenfrost regime.

• Engineering
Soft matter
• 2016
The results suggest that the main contribution to drop rebound is due to surface forces, and not to the intrinsic elasticity of the vapour cushion between the drop and the surface, which is a major assumption in one of the existing models.

### Interplay between viscosity and elasticity in freely expanding liquid sheets

We investigate the dynamics of freely expanding liquid sheets prepared with fluids with different rheological properties, (i) viscous fluids with a zero-shear viscosity $\eta_0$ in the range

### Elastocapillarity: Surface Tension and the Mechanics of Soft Solids

• Materials Science
• 2016
It is widely appreciated that surface tension can dominate the behavior of liquids at small scales. Solids also have surface stresses of a similar magnitude, but they are usually overlooked. However,
