Spontaneous Curvature Induced Stretching-Bending Mode Coupling in Membranes

In this paper, a simple example to illustrate what is basically known from the Gauss’ times interplay between geometry and mechanics in thin shells is presented. Specifically, the eigen-mode spectrum in spontaneously curved (i.e., up-down asymmetric) extensible polymerized or elastic membranes is st...
