The pulmonary crackling and the formation of liquid bridges are problems that for centuries have been attracting the attention of scientists. In order to study these phenomena, it was developed a canonical cubic ...

In this work we study computationally the dynamics of a liquid bridge formed between a 2D trapezoidal cavity, which represents an axisymmetric cell or a plane groove engraved in a roll, and a moving plate. The flow is a ...

The interactions between the [BMIM][PF6] -ionic liquid- and a phosphate glassy surface is studied through calorimetric, structural and impedance spectroscopy methods. A soft solid conductor material is obtained mixing the ...

Molecular dynamics simulations are used to study capillary liquid bridges between two planar substrates and the origin, strength and range of the resulting force between them. Pairwise interactions are described by the ...

The synthesis of a novel kind of form-retaining liquid crystalline crosslinked metallopolymer is reported. Copper(II) is complexed by Schiff's base units as part of a mesogenic side chain polymer. This leads to remarkable ...

Based on a simple numerical model for wet granular beds, we study the structural properties of wet particles subjected to tapping in terms of the global anisotropy and angular distribution presented by their contacts. The ...

We present a simple model to describe the response of a granular bed to a tapping-like excitation when grains can form capillary bridges due to the presence of interstitial liquid. We implement a pseudodynamic simulation ...

Tuned liquid column dampers are U-tubes filled with some liquid, acting as an active vibration damper in structures of engineering interest like buildings and bridges. We study the effect of a tuned liquid column damper ...
