Drops on soft solids : Free energy and double transition of contact angles
Lubbers L.A., Weijs H.H.,Botto L., Das S, Andreotti B. and Snoeijer J.H., J. Fluid Mech. 747, R1 (2014). The equilibrium shape of liquid drops on elastic substrates is determined by minimising elastic and capillary free energies, focusing on (...)
