Numerical Investigation of Isolated Crescent Singularity
Tao Liang
In this paper we examine numerically the properties, especially the scaling properties, of an isolated crescent singularity similar to that of a developable cone. The desired isola…

Spontaneous curvature cancellation in forced thin sheets
Tao Liang, Thomas A. Witten
In this paper we report numerically observed spontaneous vanishing of mean curvature on a developable cone made by pushing a thin elastic sheet into a circular container. We show t…

Crescent Singularities in Crumpled Sheets
Tao Liang, Thomas A. Witten
We examine the crescent singularity of a developable cone in a setting similar to that studied by Cerda et al [Nature 401, 46 (1999)]. Stretching is localized in a core region near…
