Page 28: Basic Theory Of Buckle Folding
17.0 BASIC THEORY OF BUCKLE FOLDING If a sheet of paper is laid on a flat surface and driven into a stationary object, a buckle or series of buckles will form along the surface of the sheet. If the sheet of paper is pushed into a narrow channel before butting up against the stationary object, the buckles that form within the channel will be of a much smaller size than free-forming buckles. - Page 29 If the channel is angled to produce a downward pressure, and two folding rollers, spinning as indicated, are placed close to the end of the channel, the larger buckles that start forming there will always be formed downward and be pulled into the rollers, compressing into a fold.
