Scaling properties of randomly folded plastic sheets.

چکیده
We study the scaling properties of randomly folded aluminum sheets of different thicknesses h and widths L . We found that the fractal dimension D=2.30+/-0.01 and the force scaling exponent delta=0.21+/-0.02 are independent of the sheet thickness and close to those obtained in numerical simulations with a coarse-grained model of triangulated self-avoiding surfaces with bending and stretching rigidity. So our findings suggest that finite bending rigidity and self-avoidance play the predominant roles in the scaling behavior of randomly folded plastic sheets.

Intrinsically anomalous self-similarity of randomly folded matter.
We found that randomly folded thin sheets exhibit unconventional scale invariance, which we termed as an intrinsically anomalous self-similarity, because the self-similarity of the folded configurations and of the set of folded sheets are characterized by different fractal dimensions. Besides, we found that self-avoidance does not affect the scaling properties of folded patterns, because the se...
متن کاملEntropic rigidity of a crumpling network in a randomly folded thin sheet.
We have studied experimentally and theoretically the response of randomly folded hyperelastic and elastoplastic sheets on the uniaxial compression loading and the statistical properties of crumpling networks. The results of these studies reveal that the mechanical behavior of randomly folded sheets in the one-dimensional stress state is governed by the shape dependence of the crumpling network ...
متن کاملIntrinsically anomalous roughness of randomly crumpled thin sheets.
We study the effect of folding ridges on the scaling properties of randomly crumpled sheets of different kinds of paper in the folded and unfolded states. We found that the mean ridge length scales with the sheet size with the scaling exponent mu determined by the competition between bending and stretching deformations in the folded sheet. This scaling determines the mass fractal dimension of r...
متن کاملInvestigation of microstructure and mechanical properties of low carbon steel sheets after severe plastic deformation in corrugation dies
Recently, bulk nano-structured materials produced by severe plastic deformation (SPD) have attracted scientists attention. Materials produced by SPD are of great importance because of (1) non-porous structure, (2) great mechanical properties such as high strength and toughness and (3) proper dimension for mechanical and physical testing. Several methods have been introduced for imposing the s...

We study the roughness of randomly crumpled elastic sheets. Based on analytical and numerical calculations, we find that they are self affine with a roughness exponent equal to one. Such crumpling occurs e.g. when wet paper dries. We also discuss the case of correlated crumpling, which occurs in connection with flattening of randomly folded paper.
