The Collective Snapping of a Pair of Bumping Buckled Beams
Lennard J. Kwakernaak, Arman Guerra, Douglas P. Holmes +1
When a pair of parallel buckling beams of unequal width make lateral contact under increasing compression, eventually either the thin or the thick beam will snap, leading to collec…
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…
Emergence of Structure in Columns of Grains and Elastic Loops
Arman Guerra, Douglas P. Holmes
It is possible to build free-standing, load-bearing structures using only rocks and loops of elastic material. We investigate how these structures emerge, and find that the necessa…
