The article addresses the mathematical modeling of the folding of a thin elastic sheet along a prescribed curved arc. A rigorous model reduction from a general hyperelastic material description is carried out under appropriate scaling conditions on the energy and the geometric properties of the folding arc in dependence on the small sheet thickness. The resulting two-dimensional model is a piecewise nonlinear Kirchhoff plate bending model with a continuity condition at the folding arc. A… Expand

A reduced model for large deformations of prestrained plates consists of minimizing a second order bending energy subject to a nonconvex metric constraint and a local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) finite element approach that hinges on the notion of reconstructed Hessian is proposed. Expand
