A sequence of elastic patterns in a sheared bent sheet
D. Gimeno, B. K. Meghwar, G. Fisher +3
We document a sequence of bifurcations and elastic patterns in sheared bent sheets of intermediate aspect ratio. The sheets undergo inversion of curvature through the passage of lo…

Buckling mediated by mobile localized elastic excitations
R. S. Hutton, E. Vitral, E. Hamm +1
Experiments reveal that structural transitions in thin sheets are mediated by the passage of transient and stable mobile localized elastic excitations. These ``crumples'' or ``d-co…
