Self-Ordering of Buckling, Bending, Bumping Beams
Arman Guerra, Anja Slim, Douglas P. Holmes +1
A collection of thin structures buckle, bend, and bump into each-other when confined. This contact can lead to the formation of patterns: hair will self-organize in curls; DNA stra…
Wrinkling and developable cones in centrally confined sheets
Lucia Stein-Montalvo, Arman Guerra, Kanani Almeida +2
Thin sheets respond to confinement by smoothly wrinkling, or by focusing stress into small, sharp regions. From engineering to biology, geology, textiles, and art, thin sheets are…
Dynamic buckling of an inextensible elastic ring: Linear and nonlinear analyses
Ousmane Kodio, Alain Goriely, Dominic Vella
Slender elastic objects such as a column tend to buckle under loads. While static buckling is well understood as a bifurcation problem, the evolution of shapes during dynamic buckl…
Dynamic buckling of elastic rings in a soap film
Finn Box, Ousmane Kodio, Doireann O'Kiely +3
Dynamic buckling may occur when a load is rapidly applied to, or removed from, an elastic object at rest. In contrast to its static counterpart, dynamic buckling offers a wide rang…
Impact on floating thin elastic sheets: A mathematical model
Doireann O'Kiely, Finn Box, Ousmane Kodio +2
We investigate impact of a sphere onto a floating elastic sheet and the resulting formation and evolution of wrinkles in the sheet. Following impact, we observe a radially propagat…
Dynamics of wrinkling in ultrathin elastic sheets
Finn Box, Doireann O'Kiely, Ousmane Kodio +3
The wrinkling of thin elastic objects provides a means of generating regular patterning at small scales in applications ranging from photovoltaics to microfluidic devices. Static w…
