Curly kale

Experiments with buckling. First a disc is remeshed with edge length decreasing towards the boundary. Then the edges are made the same length, while preventing self-intersection, causing the surface to buckle into a hyperbolic shape. Definition here:

Comment by Daniel Piker on July 8, 2015 at 5:06am: @Cho Chung Man - This is purely exploration with algorithms/geometry, I didn't have a particular application in mind, though it is guided by a general sense that studying buckling/curvature phenomena like this could inform structural applications.

@Mateusz - In this video the black edge is just GH custom preview of a curve, with line thickness increased in the Rhino display settings. The flickering is GH mesh lines conflicting with this edge curve. I do often use mesh pipe for other things though, and if you are going back and fixing bugs in it it would be great if you could include a line to update the normals!

Comment by Cho Chung Man on July 7, 2015 at 10:30pm: seems very interesting...
hmm what you think this work could be? architecture? or...

Comment by Mateusz Zwierzycki on June 29, 2015 at 5:15pm: @Daniel - is the edge thickened with mesh pipe ? Flickering is quite annoying... there are some stupid bugs in the mesh tools, I should probably fix them.
