褶皱膜中的自发自由边界结构

Spontaneous free-boundary structure in crumpled membranes

T. A. Witten

摘要:

我们调查的强曲率,出现在一个薄皱弹性膜的边界。我们占这些高曲率区域的拉伸脊奇异性,据信占主导地位的强烈变形的弹性膜的结构。使用固定到自己的膜,形成一个单一的拉伸脊袋形状,我们发现,创建点的高边界曲率降低了内部脊的能量。在小厚度的限制下,诱导曲率在物体尺寸的尺度上变得任意强,并且导致将内部顶点连接到边界的尖锐边缘。修改:我们将这些边分析为没有拉伸的圆锥扇区。随着膜尺寸的发散,边缘能量随着中心脊能量的平方根而增长。为了比较,我们讨论了截断拉伸脊在其两端的效果。当截断长度与未截断脊的宽度相当时,截断的效果变得明显。

英文摘要:

We investigate the strong curvature that appears at the boundaries of a thin crumpled elastic membrane. We account for these high-curvature regions in terms of the stretching-ridge singularity believed to dominate the structure of strongly deformed elastic membranes. Using a membrane fastened to itself to form a bag shape with a single stretching ridge, we show that the creation of points of high boundary curvature lowers the interior ridge's energy. In the limit of small thickness, the induced curvature becomes arbitrarily strong on the scale of the object size and results in sharp edges connecting interior vertices to the boundary. REVISED: We analyze these edges as conical sectors with no stretching. As the membrane size diverges, the edge energy grows as the square root of the central ridge energy. For comparison, we discuss the effect of truncating a stretching ridge at its ends. The effect of truncation becomes appreciable when the truncation length is comparable to the width of the untruncated ridge.
