    Workshop on Topological Protection in Messy Matter - Welcome and Overview
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2018-05-14) Rocklin, D. Zeb
    The Workshop on Topological Protection in Messy Matter is sponsored by Georgia Tech's Community for Research on Active Surfaces and Interfaces (CRĀSI). The workshop will bring together distinguished researchers from diverse intellectual communities to present and moreover to develop new ways of exploiting topology in "messy" systems, including but not limited to disordered, fluid, amorphous, active, structured and quasicrystalline systems.

    What Topology Reveals About Real Systems
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2018-05-11) Rocklin, D. Zeb
    A tutorial intended to introduce topology with a minimum of math and provide a background as to how it applies to real systems such as those considered in the Workshop on Topological Protection in Messy Matter.

    How Hidden Geometric Symmetries in Origami Generate New Folding Mechanisms
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2018-04-19) McInerney, James ; Rocklin, D. Zeb
    The traditional Japanese art of paper folding has inspired various foldable materials, some now realizable at the atomic scale. These thin sheets use engineered crease patterns to provide a desired mechanical response governed by the crease pattern geometry. We consider the entire class of triangulated origami, where global symmetries come paired with force-bearing modes that correspond to linear folding motions. We find triangulated origami generally has two such folding modes that extend into the non-linear regime and transform the origami sheet into cylindrical sections. The key feature of this class of origami is its matching number of constraints and degrees of freedom; hence, our methods are applicable to sheets allowing cuts and folds called kirigami, and continuous sheets satisfying this condition.
