TLDR
Overall, this study shows that nanoscale porosity can be tailored via the filament density and adhesion at contact points, which is important to the development of lightweight multifunctional materials.
Chaos on the conveyor belt.
TLDR
The dynamics of a spring-block train placed on a moving conveyor belt is investigated both by simple experiments and computer simulations, suggesting that the maximum complexity of the dynamical states is achieved for a relatively small number of blocks.
Spring-block approach for crack patterns in glass
Fracture patterns resulting from point-like impact acting perpendicularly on the plane of a commercial sodalime glass plate is modelled by a spring-block system. The characteristic patterns consist…
Engineering hierarchical nanostructures by elastocapillary self-assembly.
TLDR
An overview of the underlying fundamentals of elastocapillary self-assembly is given and typical implementations and surface designs for nanowires, nanotubes, and nanopillars made from a wide variety of materials are classified.

Pattern formation and selection in quasistatic fracture.
TLDR
A scaling behavior associated with the thickness and substrate coupling, derived and confirmed by simulations, suggests why patterns have similar morphology despite their disparity in scales.
Shake-induced order in nanosphere systems
TLDR
It is confirmed that more ordered triangular lattice structures can be obtained whenever a moderate intensity random shaking is applied on the drying system.
Self-Organization of a Mesoscale Bristle into Ordered, Hierarchical Helical Assemblies
TLDR
It is shown how spontaneous helicity can be induced in a synthetic polymeric nanobristle assembling in an evaporating liquid and can be controlled to yield highly ordered helical clusters with a unique structural hierarchy that arises from the sequential assembly of self-similar coiled building blocks over multiple length scales.
A spring-block model for Barkhausen noise
A simple mechanical spring-block model is introduced for studying magnetization phenomena and in particular the Barkhausen noise. The model captures and reproduces the accepted microscopic picture of…

Capillarity-driven assembly of two-dimensional cellular carbon nanotube foams
TLDR
Capillary forces arising during the evaporation of liquids from dense carbon nanotube arrays are used to reassemble the nanotubes into two-dimensional contiguous cellular foams, which have applications as shock-absorbent structural reinforcements and elastic membranes.
