The blistering of elastic membranes is prone to elastic-solid as well as substrate-based
mechanical instabilities. The solid-based instabilities have been well-explored in the …

We conduct a finite element computational study of the dynamics of a thin elastic film
bonded to a much thicker viscous substrate undergoing compression at a fixed rate. The …

Surface wrinkling is a frequently observed form of deformation instability when a thin film
bonded to a compliant substrate is under in-plane compression. In this study, a recently …

Everyday experience confirms the tendency of adhesive films to detach from spheroidal
regions of rigid substrates—what is a petty frustration when placing a sticky band aid onto a …

Surface wrinkles driven by mechanical instability commonly form in thin-film structures
attached to a compliant substrate. In this study, a recently developed computational …

Surface instability, termed wrinkling, might occur in compressed bilayer systems constituted
by an external rigid skin resting on an internal soft substrate, where wrinkling is favored by …

Homogeneous wrinkles and localized patterns are ubiquitous in nature and are useful for a
wide range of practical applications. Although various strain-driven surface instability modes …

While buckling is a time independent phenomenon for filaments or films bonded to soft
elastic substrates, time evolution plays an important role when the substrate is a viscous …

We study the emergence of fluid flow in a closed chamber that is driven by dynamical
deformations of an elastic sheet. The sheet is compressed between the sidewalls of the …
