Curling of a Heated Annulus
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We study the largedisplacement behavior of a thin annulus subjected to thermal gradients. Following axisymmetrical deflections, the annulus buckles into a periodic mode shape, which eventually forms a number of a radial ...
The Hanging Drape: A Vertex Analogy
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We present a novel, rigidly folding vertex inspired by the shape of the simplest hanging drape. Fold lines in the vertex correspond to pleats and ridges in the drape and are symmetrically arranged to enable synchronized ...
Elastic Localization With Particular Reference to Tape-Springs
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Many elastic systems localize under applied displacement, precipitating into regions of lower and higher strain; further displacement is accommodated by growth of the high strain region at a constant load. Such systems can ...
The Shape of Helically Creased Cylinders
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Creasing in thin shells admits large deformation by concentrating curvatures while relieving stretching strains over the bulk of the shell: after unloading, the creases remain as narrow ridges and the rest of the shell is ...
Surface Texturing Through Cylinder Buckling
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We consider the axial buckling of a thinwalled cylinder fitted onto a mandrel core with a prescribed annular gap. The buckling pattern develops fully and uniformly to yield a surface texture of regular diamondshaped buckles, ...
