Fig. 3: Facet area distributions for a sample sheet.

From: A model for the fragmentation kinetics of crumpled thin sheets

Fig. 3

a The map of mean curvature for iterations n = 1, 2, 3, and 24 of a sample sheet crumpled with compaction ratio \(\tilde{{{\Delta }}}=0.27\), and b the corresponding facet segmentation. c Experimental distributions of scaled facet area ξ = x/s for each sample (scattered points) and best fit curve to Eq. (7a) (solid line). The parameter a for each sample is obtained via self-consistent calculation by Eqs. (7b) and (8), and only the universal parameter τ ≈ 24.041 is collectively fit for all samples.
