Besides developing computational methods, I also designed experiments. The apparaus I’ve designed had been used by my previous and current colleagues in their great work, indcluding:
Fracturing machine:
The experiments inspired by this designs can be found in the following papers
-
Crumpling-origami transition for twisting cylindrical shells
-
Phase Diagram and Snap-Off Transition for a Twisted Party Balloon
We’ve also thought about using it to measure the crack development on paper
The crease energy analysis tool I developed are used in the following papers
