Using Fourier Transform Analysis To Extract Information From The Shapes Of Folded Layers, Thomas Billiard
Using Fourier Transform Analysis To Extract Information From The Shapes Of Folded Layers, Thomas Billiard
Honors Papers
Objective methods of fold shape analysis are nessesary to better understand the behavior of folds and the folding process. I examined two methods of analysis, and used a method based on the Fourier Transform to show that the method based on the Fourier Series was insufficient for identifying shape characteristics of aperiodic natural fold trains. I also showed that the Fourier Transform method accessed information that was inaccessable using the Fourier Series method.
