Crumpling a thin sheet.
Crumpled sheets have a surprisingly large resistance to further compression. We have studied the crumpling of thin sheets of Mylar under different loading conditions. When placed under a fixed compressive force, the size of a crumpled material decreases logarithmically in time for periods up to three weeks. We also find hysteretic behavior when measuring the compression as a function of applied...
متن کاملExperimental study of the dynamics of a thin current sheet
Many plasmas in natural settings or in laboratory experiments carry currents. In magnetized plasmas the currents can be narrow field-aligned filaments as small as the electron inertial length
متن کاملInstabilities in a thin current sheet and their consequences
Using a fully 3-D particle in-cell simulation, we studied the electrodynamics of a thin current sheet (CS). Starting with a uniform plasma and anti-parallel magnetic field, Harris equilibrium is achieved during the early stage of the simulation. In the processes of reaching the equilibrium, both electrons and ions in the newly formed CS are energized and develop pitch-angle anisotropies. We fin...
متن کاملSingular thin viscous sheet.
The evolution of a thin viscous layer is usually smooth. Here we conduct an experiment where the layer adopts a singular shape. Using the analogy between the flow of a viscous liquid and the deformation of an elastic solid, the theoretical analysis predicts a conical shape for the sheet and is in quantitative agreement with the experiment.
متن کاملCurrent density and forces for a current loop moving parallel over a thin conducting sheet
An analytical expression for the eddy current forces on a circular current loop moving with constant velocity over a thin conducting sheet is derived in this paper. This calculation is based on using the boundary conditions across the conducting sheet to solve for the total magnetic vector potential. The eddy currents in the sheet and the forces on the sheet are first presented in the ‘quasista...
