Direct numerical simulation of buckling instability of thin films on a compliant substrate

Surface buckling (wrinkling) driven by mechanical instability is commonly observed in thin-film structures with a compliant substrate. The resulting undulation, while sometimes undesirable, has been increasingly exploited to enhance mechanical and/or functional performances of many thin film devices...
