Cyclically sheared foams

ORAL

Abstract

We experimentally apply a cyclic pure shear deformation to a two-dimensional foam at different densities. We probe the onset of irreversibility and relate this to local rearrangements in the system and show the behavior close to jamming is different from that in dense systems.
