Topology, geometry and mechanics of strongly stretched and twisted filaments
Nicholas Charles, Mattia Gazzola, L. Mahadevan
Soft elastic filaments that can be stretched, bent and twisted exhibit a range of topologically and geometrically complex morphologies that include plectonemes, solenoids, knot-lik…
Programming Curvature using Origami Tessellations
Levi H. Dudte, Etienne Vouga, Tomohiro Tachi +1
Origami describes rules for creating folded structures from patterns on a flat sheet, but does not prescribe how patterns can be designed to fit target shapes. Here, starting from…
Geometric Mechanics of Curved Crease Origami
Marcelo A. Dias, Levi H. Dudte, L. Mahadevan +1
Folding a sheet of paper along a curve can lead to structures seen in decorative art and utilitarian packing boxes. Here we present a theory for the simplest such structure: an ann…
