Journal ArticleDOI
Geometry and Mechanics in the Opening of Chiral Seed Pods
TL;DR: The theoretical analysis quantitatively predicts all observed configurations, thus linking the pod’s microscopic structure and macroscopic conformation and suggesting that this type of incompatible strip is likely to play a role in the self-assembly of chiral macromolecules and could be used for the engineering of synthetic self-shaping devices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shaping of Elastic Sheets by Prescription of Non-Euclidean Metrics
TL;DR: This work constructed thin gel sheets that undergo laterally nonuniform shrinkage that prescribes non-Euclidean metrics on the sheets, showing how both large-scale buckling and multiscale wrinkling structures appeared, depending on the nature of possible embeddings of the prescribed metrics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elastic theory of unconstrained non-Euclidean plates
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a mathematical framework for non-Euclidean plates in terms of a covariant theory of linear elasticity, valid for large displacements.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mechanics of non-Euclidean plates
Eran Sharon,Efi Efrati +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review theoretical and experimental works that focus on shape selection in non-Euclidean plates and provide an overview of this new field, and point out to open questions in the field and to its applicative potential.
Journal ArticleDOI
Real Space Renormalization in Statistical Mechanics
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare the conceptualization and practice of early real-space renormalization group methods with the conceptualisation of more recent real space transformations based on tensor networks, focusing upon two basic methods: the potential-moving approach most used in the period 1975-1980 and the rewriting method as it has been developed in the last five years.
