Ibarra A, Fuentealba J, Roman B, Melo F
Phys Rev E . 2019 Oct; 100(2-1):023002. PMID: 31574657
This study investigates the tearing of a thin notched sheet when two points on the sheet are pulled apart. The concepts that determine the crack trajectory are reviewed in the...

Geminard J, Pastenes J, Melo F
Phys Rev E . 2018 May; 97(4-1):042601. PMID: 29758637
Large deformations are prone to cause irreversible changes in materials structure, generally leading to either material hardening or softening. Aqueous foam is a metastable disordered structure of densely packed gas...

Montecinos-Oliva C, Schuller A, Parodi J, Melo F, Inestrosa N
Curr Med Chem . 2014 Jul; 21(30):3494-506. PMID: 25039785
Tetrahydrohyperforin (IDN5706) is a semi-synthetic compound derived from hyperforin (IDN5522) and is the main active principle of St. John's Wort. IDN5706 has shown numerous beneficial effects when administered to wild-type...

Eur Phys J E Soft Matter . 2011 Feb; 34(2):13. PMID: 21337016
Starting from a polymeric-fluid droplet, by vulcanization of the fluid free surface, curved elastic membranes, several nanometers thick and a few millimeters in diameter, which enclose a constant fluid volume,...

Environ Microbiol . 2010 Apr; 12(9):2411-25. PMID: 20406281
Phenoxyalkanoic herbicides such as 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate (2,4-D), 2,4-dichlorophenoxybutyrate (2,4-DB) or mecoprop are widely used to control broad-leaf weeds. Several bacteria have been reported to degrade these herbicides using the α-ketoglutarate-dependent, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate...

Griffiths S, Rescaglio A, Melo F
Ultrasonics . 2009 Oct; 50(2):139-44. PMID: 19854458
This paper deals with an experimental description of the acoustic behaviour of non-consolidated granular materials submitted to static force. The aim of this work is to investigate the effect of...

Divoux T, Vidal V, Melo F, Geminard J
Phys Rev E Stat Nonlin Soft Matter Phys . 2008 Jul; 77(5 Pt 2):056310. PMID: 18643164
We report experimental measurements of the acoustic emission associated with the bursting of a gas bubble at the free surface of a non-Newtonian fluid. On account of the viscoelastic properties...

Geminard J, Bernal R, Melo F
Eur Phys J E Soft Matter . 2004 Oct; 15(2):117-26. PMID: 15503250
We study experimentally the main features of wrinkles that form in an initially stretched and flat elastic membrane when subjected to an axi-symmetric traction force at the center. The wavelength...

Bernal R, Coste C, Lund F, Melo F
Phys Rev Lett . 2002 Jul; 89(3):034501. PMID: 12144396
Standing surface waves that interact with a confined, vertical, vorticity field with zero net circulation are studied both analytically and experimentally. The surface waves are generated by vertical vibration, and...

Chaieb S, Melo F
Phys Rev E Stat Phys Plasmas Fluids Relat Interdiscip Topics . 2002 Apr; 60(5 Pt B):6091-103. PMID: 11970514
The localization of deformation is a simple consequence of the fact that bending a thin sheet is energetically cheaper than stretching it. In this paper we investigate conical singularities that...
