Nature's forms are frilly, flexible, and functional
Kenneth K. Yamamoto, Toby L. Shearman, Erik J. Struckmeyer +2
A ubiquitous motif in nature is the self-similar hierarchical buckling of a thin lamina near its margins. This is seen in leaves, flowers, fungi, corals, and marine invertebrates.…
Distributed branch points and the shape of elastic surfaces with constant negative curvature
Toby L. Shearman, Shankar C. Venkataramani
We develop a theory for distributed branch points and investigate their role in determining the shape and influencing the mechanics of thin hyperbolic objects. We show that branch…
Isometric immersions, energy minimization and self-similar buckling in non-Euclidean elastic sheets
John Gemmer, Eran Sharon, Toby Shearman +1
The edges of torn plastic sheets and growing leaves often display hierarchical buckling patterns. We show that this complex morphology (i) emerges even in zero strain configuration…
