Abstract
The behavior of weakly deformed drops on non-wetting surfaces is usually described using linear models. We show that these simple pictures cannot account for measurements of the dynamics of droplets that oscillate or bounce on super-hydrophobic substrates. We demonstrate that several peculiar experimental observations observed in previous works can be understood through a logarithmic correction of the linear model.
