One of the basic problem areas on foldable structure is to fold a cylindrical shell in axial direction to the extreme, i.e., to a flat state, while keeping its axis and internal envelope like a bellows. There are lots of need for such structures in industry, such as deployable structures, bellows, and packaging.
Quartz communicates a pared down and simple expression. This champagne is nice to bring to a dinner party, on a picnic or just to a nice Friday night with friends.
The best way to understand the background of this problem is to consider the case of post buckling behavior of a thin cylindrical shell under axial loading. The resulting geometric form is called Yoshimura-pattern, which consists of repetition of the diamond pattern. Because the Yoshimura-pattern is obtained through the inextensional deformation process, it can be considered as the candidate of a foldable cylindrical shell. However, the matter is not simple as expected for this case. For a particular dimension of cylindrical shell, one can define the folded state or the pattern to realize a given axial length. However, once this geometric parameter is defined, it becomes a stable structure that is no more foldable without elastic deformations.
The concept is based on the desire to have knowledge and interest in crafts. Champagne should be stored lying down, we took advantage of that and created a package that doesn't let the bottle to stand up. This makes it stand out from the crowd and have a strong shelf impact.
