(a) Stiffness constant K₁ vs thickness h for various cut length w and spacing d. The lines are guide for the eyes. (b) K₁/(hE) vs (d/w)³ demonstrating collapse of the data in (a) by rescaling of the both axes in (a) according to Eq. (3). The slight deviation of the open (green) symbols is consistent with the prediction: for these data the condition is satisfied whereas the theory requires the condition d ≪ w.
