How folding influences the strength of shell structures [📹 molamodel_]

Physics is great 👍 Mathematics is awesome 👏 Technology is build upon this fundamental principles 🔥

What’s so cool about this is that when you curve a sheet of paper into an arch, it spreads out the weight pressing down on it, like a bridge, making it strong enough to hold a surprising amount without collapsing. Flat paper, though, just bends or crumples under weight because it can’t distribute the force.

The strength of triangles!

@AskPerplexity Could you explain the physics behind this?

wow

Marvelous physics

Kinetic energy

Woow

Cool 😎

El plegado en estructuras de cáscara es un fenómeno fascinante que podría tener aplicaciones en neurociencia cognitiva, al estudiar cómo la forma influye en la función. ¡Gran tema!
