For structures consisting of a thin film bonded to a compliant substrate, wrinkling of the thin film is commonly observed as a result of mechanical instability. Although this surface undulation may be ...
Reconfigurable and reversible devices can rapidly respond to mechanical, thermal, chemical, electromagnetic and optical stimuli by changing their shapes and functionalities. Such active structures ...
Linear finite-element analysis does not provide enough information about buckling to make correct design decisions, especially when designing lightweight components ...
