Mechanical Instabilities of Soft Materials: Creases, Wrinkles, Folds, and Ridges
Subject to a sufficiently large compression, materials may undergo mechanical instabilities of various types. When the material is homogeneous, creases set in. When the material is a bilayer consisting of a stiff thin film on a thick compliant substrate, wrinkles set in. Creases are localized self-c...
