Twisting sheets as a strategy to form yarns with nested structure lacks scientific guiding principles but relies on millennia of human experience in making catguts, food packaging, and redeployable fabric wearables. We formulate a tensional twist-folding route to making yarns with prescribed folded, scrolled, and encapsulated architectures by remote boundary loading. By harnessing micro-focus x-ray scanning to noninvasively image the fine internal structure, we show that a twisted sheet follows a surprisingly ordered folding transformation as it self-scrolls to form structured yarns. As a sheet is twisted by a half-turn, we find that the elastic sheet spiral accordion folds with star polygon shapes characterized by Schlafli symbols set by the primary instability. A scalable model incorporating dominant stretching modes with origami kinematics explains not only the observed multilayered structure, torque, and energetics, but also the topological transformation into yarns with prescribed crosssections through recursive folding and twist localization. By using hyperelastic materials, we further demonstrate that a wide range of structures can be readily redeployed, going well beyond other self-assembly methods in current broad use.

We demonstrate with experiments that wrinkling in stretched latex sheets occur over finite strains, and that their amplitudes grow and then decay to zero over a greater range of applied strains compared with linear elastic materials. The wrinkles occ ur provided the sheet is sufficiently thin compared to its width, and only over a finite range of length-to-width ratios. We show with simulations that the Mooney-Rivlin hyperelastic model describes the observed growth and decay of the wrinkles in our experiments. The decrease of wavelength with applied tension is found to be consistent with a far-from-threshold scenario proposed by Cerda and Mahadevan in 2003. However, the amplitude is observed to decrease with increasing tensile load, in contrast with the prediction of their original model. We address the crucial assumption of {it collapse of compressive stress}, as opposed to collapse of compressive strain, underlying the far-from-threshold analysis, and test it by measuring the actual arc-length of the stretched sheet in the transverse direction and its difference from the width of a planar projection of the wrinkled shape. Our experiments and numerical simulations indicate a complete {it collapse of the compressive stress}, and reveal that a proper implementation of the far-from-threshold analysis is consistent with the non-monotonic dependence of the amplitude on applied tensile load observed in experiments and simulations. Thus, our work support and extend far-from-threshold analysis to the stretching problem of rectangular hyperelastic sheets.
Predicting the large-amplitude deformations of thin elastic sheets is difficult due to the complications of self-contact, geometric nonlinearities, and a multitude of low-lying energy states. We study a simple two-dimensional setting where an annular polymer sheet floating on an air-water interface is subjected to different tensions on the inner and outer rims. The sheet folds and wrinkles into many distinct morphologies that break axisymmetry. These states can be understood within a recent geometric approach for determining the gross shape of extremely bendable yet inextensible sheets by extremizing an appropriate area functional. Our analysis explains the remarkable feature that the observed buckling transitions between wrinkled and folded shapes are insensitive to the bending rigidity of the sheet.

This paper is an introductory review of the problem of front propagation into unstable states. Our presentation is centered around the concept of the asymptotic linear spreading velocity v*, the asymptotic rate with which initially localized perturba tions spread into an unstable state according to the linear dynamical equations obtained by linearizing the fully nonlinear equations about the unstable state. This allows us to give a precise definition of pulled fronts, nonlinear fronts whose asymptotic propagation speed equals v*, and pushed fronts, nonlinear fronts whose asymptotic speed v^dagger is larger than v*. In addition, this approach allows us to clarify many aspects of the front selection problem, the question whether for a given dynamical equation the front is pulled or pushed. It also is the basis for the universal expressions for the power law rate of approach of the transient velocity v(t) of a pulled front as it converges toward its asymptotic value v*. Almost half of the paper is devoted to reviewing many experimental and theoretical examples of front propagation into unstable states from this unified perspective. The paper also includes short sections on the derivation of the universal power law relaxation behavior of v(t), on the absence of a moving boundary approximation for pulled fronts, on the relation between so-called global modes and front propagation, and on stochastic fronts.
The problem of how staple yarns transmit tension is addressed within abstract models in which the Amontons-Coulomb friction laws yield a linear programming (LP) problem for the tensions in the fiber elements. We find there is a percolation transition such that above the percolation threshold the transmitted tension is in principle unbounded, We determine that the mean slack in the LP constraints is a suitable order parameter to characterize this supercritical state. We argue the mechanism is generic, and in practical terms corresponds to a switch from a ductile to a brittle failure mode accompanied by a significant increase in mechanical strength.
Exploring the protein-folding problem has been a long-standing challenge in molecular biology. Protein folding is highly dependent on folding of secondary structures as the way to pave a native folding pathway. Here, we demonstrate that a feature of a large hydrophobic surface area covering most side-chains on one side or the other side of adjacent $beta$-strands of a $beta$-sheet is prevail in almost all experimentally determined $beta$-sheets, indicating that folding of $beta$-sheets is most likely triggered by multistage hydrophobic interactions among neighbored side-chains of unfolded polypeptides, enable $beta$-sheets fold reproducibly following explicit physical folding codes in aqueous environments. $beta$-turns often contain five types of residues characterized with relatively small exposed hydrophobic proportions of their side-chains, that is explained as these residues can block hydrophobic effect among neighbored side-chains in sequence. Temperature dependence of the folding of $beta$-sheet is thus attributed to temperature dependence of the strength of the hydrophobicity. The hydrophobic-effect-based mechanism responsible for $beta$-sheets folding is verified by bioinformatics analyses of thousands of results available from experiments. The folding codes in amino acid sequence that dictate formation of a $beta$-hairpin can be deciphered through evaluating hydrophobic interaction among side-chains of an unfolded polypeptide from a $beta$-strand-like thermodynamic metastable state.
