Studies on modeling the mechanics of slender elastic ribbons
Ribbons are slender structures characterized by three disparate geometric dimensions: length >> width >> thickness. Such a dimensional disparity enables ribbons to bend, buckle, twist and crease response to simple loading ...
A phenomenological one-dimensional model for elastic ribbons
Ribbons exhibit fascinating buckling-dominated behavior under mechanical loading because of
a unique combination of geometric dimensions. The recent interest in examining engineering
applications of ribbon-like structures ...
