Editorial overview

The project treats heterogeneity as a controlled design variable rather than noise. The complete article is Steering Folds with Weak Mechanical Heterogeneity.

Key findings

  • The homogeneous critical mode is 2 at load 51.637.
  • Weak heterogeneity changes fold selection and placement across the tested energy landscape.

Limitations

  • Reduced one-dimensional beam model.
  • No tissue-specific constitutive calibration.
