# gst: packing in slender structures, the geometry of squeezed elastic beams


<< The behavior of a collection of squeezed elastic beams is determined by geometry, not by complex forces. >>️

Dan Garisto. How Order Emerges in Bendy Beam Bunches. Physics 16, 54. Apr 3, 2023.

<< A collection of thin structures buckle, bend, and bump into each other when confined. This contact can lead to the formation of patterns: hair will self-organize in curls; DNA strands will layer into cell nuclei; paper, when crumpled, will fold in on itself, forming a maze of interleaved sheets. This pattern formation changes how densely the structures can pack, as well as the mechanical properties of the system. >>️

<< Here (AA) study the emergence of order in a canonical example of packing in slender structures, i.e., a system of parallel confined elastic beams. >>️

They << find that the compressive stiffness and stored bending energy of this metamaterial are directly proportional to the number of beams that are geometrically frustrated at any given point.  >>
