Cooperativity, Fluctuations and Inhomogeneities in Soft Matter

Cooperativity, Fluctuations and Inhomogeneities in Soft Matter

This thesis presents four investigations into mechanical aspects of soft thin structures, focusing on the effects of stochastic and thermal fluctuations and of material inhomogeneities. First, we study the self-organization of arrays of high-aspect ratio elastic micropillars into highly regular patt...
