Figure 11

Phase diagram for the stochastic model with σ = 20° showing the different kind of shells assembled for values of the dimensionless parameters γ¯ and R0/b0. (Solid region) Despite the stochastic growth, only a single shell type is grown here. (Hashed region) Several similarly sized nonsymmetric shells are formed in addition to the symmetric shell. (Open areas) Regions where different types of shells without any regular symmetry are assembled. (Unlabeled dark-shaded area, upper-left corner of the plot with a large FvK number and large spontaneous radius of curvature) Region in which no pentamers can be formed and the elastic sheet curves around to form a cylinder.
