Buckling-Capsule-Metafluids

Folder structure:

• ExperimentalData: contains all data on the pressure-volume characteristics of single capsules and suspensions of multiple capsules that were measured experimentally and used to construct the figures in the main text.
  • Fig1MultipleCapsules: measurements of the pressure-volume characteristic of different amounts of centimeter scale capsules suspended in a fluid in a glass container (used in Fig. 1C of the main text)
  • Fig1SingleCapsule: measurements of the pressure-volume characteristic of a single centimeter scale capsule in a glass container (used in Fig. 1B of the main text). Also contains the measurement of the compliance of the glass container (used in Fig. S6 in the supplemental information).
  • Fig2CriticalPressures: measurements of the critical pressures for different spherical capsules (used in Fig. 2B of the main text)
• NumericalModeling: contains all code and data to generate the figures in the main text related to the numerical modeling of the pressure-volume characteristic of individual spherical capsules and of metafluids consisting out of multiple capsules
  • DataProcessing: all python scripts used to generate the figures containing numerically modeled pressure-volume characteristics in the main text. These scripts refer to the numerical data contained in the FEMData folder and the experimental data in the ExperimentalData folder. See the README.txt file in this folder for more explanation of the included code, how to install it and how to run it.
  • FEMData: output generated by the scripts in the FEMScripts folder when run by Abaqus for a variety of parameters
  • FEMScripts: scripts that can be run byy the finite element modeling software Abaqus to simulate the pressure-volume characteristic of individual spherical capsules with different parameters. These scripts were used to generate the data in the FEMData folder. See the README.txt file in this folder for more explanation of the included code and how to run it.
