Midveins regulate the shape formation of drying leaves
Kexin Guo, Yafei Zhang, Massimo Paradiso +3
Dried leaves in nature often exhibit curled and crumpled morphologies, typically attributed to internal strain gradients that produce dome-like shapes. However, the origin of these…

A tutorial on simulating nonlinear behaviors of flexible structures with the discrete differential geometry (DDG) method
Weicheng Huang, Zhuonan Hao, Jiahao Li +6
Flexible elastic structures, such as beams, rods, ribbons, plates, and shells, exhibit complex nonlinear dynamical behaviors that are central to a wide range of engineering and sci…
