Stress condensation in crushed elastic manifolds
Eric M. Kramer, Thomas A. Witten
We discuss an M-dimensional phantom elastic manifold of linear size L crushed into a small sphere of radius R << L in N-dimensional space. We investigate the low elastic energy sta…

The von Karman equations, the stress function, and elastic ridges in high dimensions
Eric M. Kramer
The elastic energy functional of a thin elastic rod or sheet is generalized to the case of an M-dimensional manifold in N-dimensional space. We derive potentials for the stress fie…
