Unfolding of Crumpled Thin Sheets
Francisco C B Leal, Marcelo A F Gomes
Crumpled thin sheets are complex fractal structures whose physical properties are influenced by a hierarchy of ridges. In this Letter, we report experiments that measure the stress…
Unpacking of a crumpled wire from two-dimensional cavities
Thiago A Sobral, Marcelo A F Gomes, Núbia R Machado +1
The physics of tightly packed structures of a wire and other threadlike materials confined in cavities has been explored in recent years in connection with crumpled systems and a n…
Tight packing of a flexible rod in two-dimensional cavities
T A Sobral, M A F Gomes
The present work deals with the injection and packing of a flexible polymeric rod of length into a simply connected rectangular domain of area . As the injection proceeds,…
Crumpling Damaged Graphene
I. Giordanelli, M. Mendoza, J. S. Andrade +2
Through molecular mechanics we find that non-covalent interactions modify the fractality of crumpled damaged graphene. Pristine graphene membranes are damaged by adding random vaca…
Plastic Deformation of 2D Crumpled Wires
M A F Gomes, V P Brito, A S O Coelho +1
When a single long piece of elastic wire is injected trough channels into a confining two-dimensional cavity, a complex structure of hierarchical loops is formed. In the limit of m…
Condensation of elastic energy in two-dimensional packing of wire
C. C. Donato, M. A. F. Gomes
Forced packing of a long metallic wire injected into a two-dimensional cavity leads to crushed structures involving a hierarchical cascade of loops with varying curvature radii. We…
