Curvature Potential Formulation for Thin Elastic Sheets
Yael Cohen, Animesh Pandey, Yafei Zhang +2
Thin elastic sheets appear in systems ranging from graphene to biological membranes, where phenomena such as wrinkling, folding, and thermal fluctuations originate from geometric n…
A continuum geometric approach for inverse design of origami structures
Alon Sardas, Michael Moshe, Cy Maor
Miura-Ori, a celebrated origami pattern that facilitates functionality in matter, has found multiple applications in the field of mechanical metamaterials. Modifications of Miura-O…
Continuum mechanics of differential growth in disordered granular matter
Noemie S. Livne, Tuhin Samanta, Amit Schiller +2
Disordered granular matter exhibits mechanical responses that occupy the boundary between fluids and solids, lacking a complete description within a continuum theoretical framework…
Odd dipole screening in disordered matter
Yael Cohen, Amit Schiller, Dong Wang +2
Disordered solids, straddling the solid-fluid boundary, lack a comprehensive continuum mechanical description. They exhibit a complex microstructure wherein multiple meta-stable st…
