Geometry-Induced Rigidity in Nonspherical Pressurized Elastic Shells

Geometry-Induced Rigidity in Nonspherical Pressurized Elastic Shells

We present results from an experimental investigation of the indentation of nonspherical pressurized elastic shells with a positive Gauss curvature. A predictive framework is proposed that rationalizes the dependence of the local rigidity of an indented shell on the curvature in the neighborhood of...
