Scaling of the buckling transition of ridges in thin sheets
Brian DiDonna
When a thin elastic sheet crumples, the elastic energy condenses into a network of folding lines and point vertices. These folds and vertices have elastic energy densities much gre…

Anomalous strength of membranes with elastic ridges
B. A. DiDonna, T. A. Witten
We report on a simulational study of the compression and buckling of elastic ridges formed by joining the boundary of a flat sheet to itself. Such ridges store energy anomalously:…

Singularities, Structures and Scaling in Deformed Elastic m-Sheets
B. A. DiDonna, S. C. Venkataramani, T. A. Witten +1
The crumpling of a thin sheet can be understood as the condensation of elastic energy into a network of ridges which meet in vertices. Elastic energy condensation should occur in r…
