We are looking for research, tools, and methodologies to predict how bending, compression, and buckling of flat sheet materials can lead to specific 3D shapes. This includes utilizing advanced fields of mathematics such as differential geometry or topology, origami, and kirigami. We are also interested in tools that can categorize or classify 3D shapes, as well as mathematical models, physical models, and digital tools that can help in understanding the behavior of these materials.
