On the shape of bistable creased strips (2017)
Journal Article

We investigate the bistable behaviour of folded thin strips bent along their central crease. Making use of a simple Gauss mapping, we describe the kinematics of a hinge and facet model, which forms a discrete version of the bistable creased strip. Th...

Localization in thin metallic annuli due to diametrical extension (2017)
Journal Article

The art form of kirigami has recently attracted interest from engineers and scientists for generating complex three-dimensional structures from flat sheet-like materials. When thin metal sheets are used, the deformation can become plastic and localiz... Read More about Localization in thin metallic annuli due to diametrical extension.
