Saturday Morning Physics | Wrinkles, Crumples, and Origami: The Physics and Geometry of Thin Elastic Sheets
Ian Tobasco (Assistant Professor and James Van Loo Post-Doctoral Fellow (U-M Mathematics)
On this date we celebrate the Van Loo Family SMP Lecture.
The world is full of pattern forming thin elastic sheets, from organic ones like leaves and flowers to inorganic membranes manufactured in the lab. What are the limits of such biologically-inspired design?
