Elastic behavior of confined soap froth
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The elastic response of ordered 3D soap froth, in which N layers of cells are confined between two rigid walls, is analyzed. Surface Evolver simulations are used to compute the equilibrium structure, which consists of a layer of Fejes-Toth cells at each wall and N - 2 core layers of Kelvin cells. The reference state corresponds to the plate spacing ho that achieves isotropic stress; and the foam confinement is varied by changing h. The foam is sheared in two orthogonal directions to determine elastic behavior up to the elastic limit or yield strain, which corresponds to the onset of topological transitions. The shear moduli in both directions decrease as N increases and slowly converge to the values of bulk Kelvin foam; the dependence on N is well described by a three-layer model consisting of Fejes-Toth cells and a core of Kelvin cells that deform like bulk foam. The influence of foam confinement on the elastic limit is studied. The topological transitions are compared to those in bulk Kelvin foam.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
