Description |
|
Supplementary movie 1 Buckling of 3D prototype |
|
The animation shows successive images of a structure of flexible beams, as it is being compressed into the imaging plane. A subset of the beams in the structure buckle in a coordinated manner. The region of selective buckling is picked out due to a topological characterization of the pattern of beams. |
|
Supplementary movie 2 Buckling of 2D prototype |
|
The animation shows successive images of a quasi-2D structure of flexible beams cut out of flexible foam as it is being compressed vertically. Along with each raw image, a reconstructed image with beams coloured by their tortuosity is also shown. |
