The Mathematics of the Pop-Up Tent

A single parameter shows the easiest way to pack up camp. The results might also apply to understanding the shapes of some relatively stiff molecular rings, such as plasmids and other ring-shaped polymers
By Philip Ball (http://www.scientificamerican.com/author.cfm?id=3077) and Nature magazine (http://www.scientificamerican.com/author.cfm?id=3044)

The authors created a creased origami sculpture that illustrates the most efficient way of buckling a ring-shaped object. Image: Nature Communications

Ever wrestled with a pop-up tent, trying to flatten it to fit into the bag? Help is at hand, in the form of a mathematical theory to describe the shapes adopted by the types of flexible ring from which these tents are made. “We have found the best way to fold rings,” says Alain Jonas, a materials scientist at the French-speaking Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium, who led the research.
Buckled rings crop up in many everyday contexts: Jonas and his colleagues give examples of their use not just for tents, but also for laundry baskets, pop-up football goals and sculptures made of wood or paper. The rings are too curved to lie flat in a normal circle, so they either buckle into a three-dimensional 'saddle' shape or save space by coiling up to form what looks like a stack of interlinked loops.
Round and round
The researchers show in Nature Communications (http://www.nature.com/ncomms/journal/v3/n12/full/ncomms2311.html) that these shapes can be predicted accurately using a theory that invokes a single key mathematical concept: 'overcurvature’, or the amount by which a ring is made more curved than a perfect, unfolded circle of the same length.
The results can be used to work out the easiest folding pathways to collapse a single overcurved ring into a small coil — the problem of folding a pop-up tent. “It’s not trivial to find this pathway empirically,” says Jonas. “You naturally start by deforming the ring in two lobes, since this is easiest. But then you have to deform the ring further into shapes that require a lot of energy.”
http://www.nature.com/polopoly_fs/7.8048.1355762982%21/image/Folding_in_3.gif
Image: Alain M. Jonas
By contrast, he says, “if you take the pathway we propose, you have to use more energy at the start, but then have to cross lower energy barriers to reach the energy valley of the ring coiled in three” — meaning that you don’t get trapped by starting off following the path of least resistance. The researchers provide a detailed route for how best to reach the three-ring compact form (see animation).
They also show that such a ring can be made even more compact, folded into five loops instead of three. “This is more difficult, because the energy barriers are higher,” says Jonas, adding that for a tent, it would be best to have three people on the job. He sees no reason why his group's proposed folding route shouldn’t work for real tents, provided that the pole material is flexible and strong enough.
From camping to chromosomes
Jonas thinks that the results might also apply on the molecular scale for understanding the shapes of some relatively stiff molecular rings, such as plasmids — circles of DNA found inside organisms such as bacteria — and other ring-shaped polymers (http://pre.aps.org/abstract/PRE/v81/i6/e061802).
“There is a lot of interest currently in this kind of fundamental mechanical problem,” says Basile Audoly, a mathematician at the Jean le Rond d'Alembert Institute at the Pierre and Marie Curie University in Paris, who points out that rather similar (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22773861?dopt=Abstract&holding=npg) and related (http://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S1631072102015450) findings have been reported (http://prl.aps.org/abstract/PRL/v109/i11/e114301) by several others. For example (http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v419/n6907/full/419579a.html), he says, the same question has been related to the buckled fringes (http://iopscience.iop.org/0295-5075/62/4/498/) at the edges of some plant leaves.

"...there was a gentleman living in New York City a few years ago who was 115. He was the oldest man living in New York and he was doing quite well,he lived on his own, got around with no trouble and could deal with anything that came his way. People asked him of course, 'what is your diet, what are you eating?'

He'd narrowed his diet down, from the ages of 90 to 115 his diet consisted mostly of three gallons ofThunderbird Wine a week and bread fried in fatback. When they asked him, 'why don't you fry your bread in bacon?' He said, "bacon's too lean."

Here's a man who knew exactly what his body needed and he lived a rich, full life on what one would think is f****** rocket fuel. And if he'd gone to a doctor, that doctor would have been, 'what the f*** is the matter with you?! You're out of control! You know what!? You're going to have to start eating vegetables!' And he would have, and he'd have been dead in a week." -Lewis Black

nevr had crocs so im not the best judge, but yes they gripped pretty well. i still honestly prefer tevas ideally for stream crossings but theyre way to heavy to carry (funny i didnt think so 10 years ago)

i do love the vvivobarefoot theyre packable, relly light and offer just enough protection for around camp at night
