Dynamical geometric modes in non-Euclidean plates
Joseph C. Roback, Carlos E. Moguel-Lehmer, Katharina A. Fransen +2
When subjected to specific prestresses, continuum elastic shells can exhibit geometric zero modes: complex motions that require vanishing elastic energy to excite, enabling them to…

Topological rigidity in twisted, elastic ribbons
Carlos E. Moguel-Lehmer, Christian D. Santangelo
Topology is an important determinant of the behavior of a great number of condensed-matter systems, but until recently has played a minor role in elasticity. We develop a theory fo…
