SUMMARY:The role of twist in shell structures - Barney Salsby\, Department
  of Engineering\, University of Cambridge
DTSTART:20201204T150000Z
DTEND:20201204T160000Z
UID:TALK153154@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Dr Maria Marques de Carvalho
DESCRIPTION:\nFrom the wrinkling of skin on a forehead to the fractal patt
 erns observed at the edge of a tear on a conventional bin bag\, structures
  in nature all share an inherent ability to morph. Such shape-morphing str
 uctures are at the core of future applications in aeronautics\, minimally 
 invasive surgery\, tissue engineering and smart materials. This talk will 
 explore the behaviour observed in the analytical study of a slender surfac
 e with a twisted geometry coupled with differential stresses. It will also
  seek to complement this by considering manufacturing techniques that can 
 be used for the realisation of these novel structures.\n
