Slow fronts at the transition from static to kinetic friction

The contact between macroscopic rough solids is made of many micrometric asperities in contact. Under increasing shear force, a catastrophic rupture of the interface can occur through the propagation of a micro-slip...

Fluid ratchets and biological locomotion

In this talk, I will discuss a few laboratory experiments that were inspired from examples of biological locomotion.There, solid structures were forced to interact with their surrounding fluid. These structures, or...
