How periodic surfaces bend without stretching
Hussein Nassar, Andrew Weber
Many compliant shell mechanisms are periodically corrugated or creased. Being thin, their preferred deformation modes are inextensional, i.e., isometric. Here, we report on a recen…
A topological counting rule for shells
Hussein Nassar
Holding a shell in their hands, one can apply six loads: three by pulling and shearing, and three by bending and twisting. Here, it is shown that the shell resists exactly three lo…
Effective isometries of periodic shells
Hussein Nassar, Andrew Weber
We argue that the standard classification of isometric deformations into infinitesimal v.s. finite is inadequate for the study of compliant shell mechanisms. Indeed, many compliant…
Isometric deformations of surfaces of translation
Hussein Nassar
A \emph{surface of translation} is a sum of two space curves: a \emph{path} and a \emph{profile} . A fundamental problem of differential…
