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 response to compressive strain in elastic objects of any…
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 field and curvatures and find the generalized von Karman…
Forced packing of a long metallic wire injected into a two-dimensional cavity leads to crushed structures involving a hierarchical cascade of loops with varying curvature radii. We study the distribution of elastic energy stored in such…
We propose a model for nonlinearly elastic membranes undergoing finite deformations while confined to a regular frictionless surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$. This is a physically correct model of the analogy sometimes given to motivate harmonic…
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: their resting energy scales as the linear size of the sheet…
The energy of an elastic manifold in a random landscape at T=0 is shown numerically to obey a probability distribution that depends on size of the box it is put into. If the extent of the spatial fluctuations of the manifold is much less…
Spatially confined rigid membranes reorganize their morphology in response to the imposed constraints. A crumpled elastic sheet presents a complex pattern of random folds focusing the deformation energy while compressing a membrane resting…
When a thin sheet is crushed into a small three-dimensional volume, it invariably forms a structure with a low volume fraction but high resistance to further compression. Being a far-from-equilibrium process, forced crumpling is not…
When a thin elastic sheet is confined to a region much smaller than its size the morphology of the resulting crumpled membrane is a network of straight ridges or folds that meet at sharp vertices. A virial theorem predicts the ratio of the…
Methods for studying droplets in models with quenched disorder are critically examined. Low energy excitations in two dimensional models are investigated by finding minimal energy interior excitations and by computing the effect of bulk…
The properties of a hinged floating elastic sheet of finite length under compression are considered. Numerical continuation is used to compute spatially localized buckled states with many spatially localized folds. Both symmetric and…
Using a geometrically motivated 8-parameter ansatz through the thickness, we reduce a three-dimensional shell-like geometrically nonlinear Cosserat material to a fully two-dimensional shell model. Curvature effects are fully taken into…
We study whether and how the energy scalings based on the single-ridge approximation are revised in an actual crumpled sheet; namely, in the presence of ridge-ridge interactions. Molecular Dynamics Simulation is employed for this purpose.…
We study the linearized Fopl - von Karman theory of a long, thin rectangular elastic membrane that is bent through an angle $2 \alpha$. We prove rigorous bounds for the minimum energy of this configuration in terms of the plate thickness…
The experimental data on elastic and inelastic scattering of 270 MeV 3He particles to several low lying states in 90Zr, 116Sn and 208Pb are analyzed within the double folding model (DFM). Fermi density distribution (FDD) of target nuclei is…
We present results of high-resolution numerical simulations of compressible 2D turbulence forced at intermediate spatial scales with a solenoidal white-in-time external acceleration. A case with an isothermal equation of state, low energy…
We propose a model for charge density waves in ring shaped crystals, which depicts frustration between intra- and inter-chain couplings coming from cylindrical bending. It is then mapped to a three dimensional uniformly frustrated XY model…
We theoretically investigate equal-mass spin-balanced two-component Fermi gases in which pairs of atoms with opposite spins interact via a short-range isotropic model potential. We probe the distinction between two-dimensional and…
We study the behavior of thin elastic sheets that are bent and strained under the influence of weak, smooth confinement. We show that the emerging shapes exhibit the coexistence of two types of domains that differ in their characteristic…
The advances in cold atom experiments have allowed construction of confining traps in the form of curved surfaces. This opens up the possibility of studying quantum gases in curved manifolds. On closed surfaces, many fundamental processes…
