Rim curvature anomaly in thin conical sheets revisited

Rim curvature anomaly in thin conical sheets revisited

This paper revisits one of the puzzling behaviors in a developable cone (d-cone), the shape obtained by pushing a thin sheet into a circular container of radius $R$ by a distance $\ensuremath{\eta}$. The mean curvature was reported to vanish at the rim where the d-cone is supported. We investigate the …
