In previous studies of thin film wrinkling on soft substrates, the mechanics models usually assume plane-strain deformation, which was found to disagree with experimental observations for narrow thin ...

inducing localized wrinkling of the stiff thin film on SMPs. The patterns show good sinusoidal profiles, with the wrinkling wavelength and amplitude decreasing gradually with the distance from the ...

To lighten the load, thin membranes are being researched as alternative materials, but their plastic wrap property causes wrinkling that can affect operational performance. For this reason ...
