Buckling-induced encapsulation of structured elastic shells under pressure

Buckling-induced encapsulation of structured elastic shells under pressure

We introduce a class of continuum shell structures, the Buckliball, which undergoes a structural transformation induced by buckling under pressure loading. The geometry of the Buckliball comprises a spherical shell patterned with a regular array of circular voids. In order for the pattern transforma...
