Buckling, Wrinkling, and Crumpling of Simulated Thin Sheets

MJ Leembruggen - 2024 - search.proquest.com
Ubiquitous across nature and technology, thin films are subject to three primary out-of-plane
of deformations: buckling, wrinkling, and crumpling. Plants' leaves gain structure and …

Geometry and Topology of Soft Elastic Systems

RA Valenzuela - 2024 - search.proquest.com
We study two separate systems each of which emphasizes the geometrical and topological
aspects of soft condensed matter systems. The geometry side of condensed matter is …
