The Structure of Fluctuating Thin Sheets Under Random Forcing
arXiv:2207.04643 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevResearch.4.033096
Abstract
We propose a mathematical model to describe the athermal fluctuations of thin sheets driven by the type of random driving that might be experienced prior to weak crumpling. The model is obtained by merging the Föppl-von Kármán equations from elasticity theory with techniques from out-of-equilibrium statistical physics to obtain a nonlinear strongly coupled -Langevin field equation with spatially varying kernel. With the aid of the self-consistent expansion (SCE), this equation is analytically solved for the structure factor of a fluctuating sheet. In contrast to previous research which has suggested that the structure factor follows an anomalous power-law, we find that the structure factor in fact obeys a logarithmically corrected rational function. Numerical simulations of our model confirm the accuracy of our analytical solution.
