Stretch-induced compressive stress and wrinkling in elastic thin sheets

A finite element analysis approach is used to determine the susceptibility to wrinkles for thin sheets with clamped ends when subjected to tensile loading. The model problem chosen to do this analysis is the stretching of a thin sheet with clamped-ends. In the preliminary analysis, a stress analysis...
