Crumpled Matter made from Sticky and Damaged Sheets Andrew B. Croll, Department of Physics, NDSU   The cause for the relatively high compressive strength of a crumpled sheet has long fascinated many researchers. When a sheet is confined in a spherical cavity it slowly bends and collides with itself until it become strapped in a complicated…

And yet it clogs: flow (or no-flow) of suspensions in constricted channels Alban Sauret, University of California Santa BarbaraAbstract:From pipes, to highways, to arteries, stopping the flow is always inconvenient and sometimes dangerous. Clogging can occur whenever a suspension, comprised of discrete particles dispersed in a liquid, flows through a confined geometry. It is a…
