MOVIES created with FRINGE GROWTH 2.0


Movie 10 illustrates how the core-object moves during a simulation of "Fringe Growth". Movie 11 illustrates the development of a fibre band and movie 12 the patterns that develop due to relative rotation of core-object with respect to its fringes. Movies 13 and 14 were created modelling natural fringes from Lourdes, France using object-centre paths. In all simulations except for movie 10 opening of fringes is thought to be parallel to the extensional ISA which is oriented 45° to the horizontal from the upper right to the lower left.


Movie 10: This movies shows how one fringe is simulated in the program "Fringe Growth". The fringe is fixed with respect to the computer screen and the core-object is translated with respect to the fringe and rotated around its centre. This simulation also illustrates how some grains in the fringe are dissolved if the core-object moves over them.

Movie 11: This movies shows how a fibre band develops in the fringe. The displacement controlled fibre band contains face-controlled fibres. These bands develop due to random nucleation in the fringe on triple points (grain boundaries) on the growth surface of crystals.

Movie 12: During this simulation the core-object is rotating around its centre relative to its fringes. The fringe structure is suddenly rotated with respect to ISA (about 30° clockwise) so that a suture line develops in the fringes. Due to the relative rotation of fringes and core-object none of the fibres grows parallel to the opening path of the fringes and displacement-controlled fibres of the same age do not grow parallel to each other.

Movie 13: This movies shows a simulation using an object-centre path that was determined from a natural fringe from Lourdes, France. If it is assumed that the opening direction of the fringe is parallel to the extensional ISA the fringe structure rotates suddenly with respect to ISA. The assumption that the fringes open parallel to the extensional ISA might not be valid since the two fringes show different opening directions (note that it is also assumed that the two fringes grow at the same rate).

Movie 14: This movies also shows a simulation using an object-centre path that was determined from a natural fringe from Lourdes, France. The core-object has an elongate form and is not rotating relative to its fringes. Note that large parts of the fringe have to be dissolved during progressive fringe growth. If it is assumed that the opening direction of the fringe is parallel to the extensional ISA the fringe structure rotates suddenly with respect to ISA. The assumption that the fringes open parallel to the extensional ISA might not be valid since the two fringes show different opening directions (note that it is also assumed that the two fringes grow at the same rate).
