Influence of chirality on buckling of inextensible rings subject to dead loading

Vietnam Journal of Mechanics
A variational approach is studied to understand buckling of inextensible rings made from chiral filaments and subject to dead loading. In opposite to previous literatures in which only in-plane bifurcation is allowed, i.e., the ring deforms only in its ...

Direct numerical simulations of three-dimensional surface instability patterns in thin film-compliant substrate structures

Scientific Reports, 2021
A comprehensive numerical study of three-dimensional surface instability patterns is presented. The formation of wrinkles is a consequence of deformation instability when a thin film, bonded to a compliant substrate, is subject to in-plane compressive ...
