ABSTRACT
Many thin tissues, such as leaves and flower petals, exhibit rippling and buckling patterns along their edge as they grow (Figure 1). Experiments with plastic materials have replicated the rippling patterns found in nature and shown that such patterns exhibit a fractal quality of ripples upon ripples --- a so called "buckling cascade" [Eran et al. 2004]. Such patterns are influenced by many physical mechanisms, including stress forces, physical properties of materials (e.g., stiffness), and space constraints [Prusinkiewicz and Barbier de Reuille 2010]. Physics-based computer animation that produces emergent rippling patterns on thin surface can improve the realism of virtual flowers and leaves, and also help to explain which physical mechanisms are most important for controlling the morphology of tissues with buckling cascades.

Simulation of delamination in stringer stiffened fiber-reinforced composite shells
Fiber-reinforced composites are often used for high performance lightweight structures. For an enhanced exploitation of material reserves, fracture mechanisms should be taken into consideration. In this work, delamination and skin-stringer separation ...
Nonlinear sectional analysis of reinforced concrete beams and shells subjected to pure torsion
Highlights- A new sectional analysis tool for concrete member torque-twist response is presented.
AbstractThis paper presents a sectional analysis tool which can compute the complete torque-twist behaviour of reinforced concrete beams and shells. The cross section is modelled as a 2-D grid of triaxial elements representing the concrete and ...
