Morphological instabilities and surface wrinkling of soft materials such as gels and biological
tissues are of growing interest to a number of academic disciplines including soft …

Symmetry-breaking transitions associated with the buckling and folding of curved
multilayered surfaces—which are common to a wide range of systems and processes such …

The three-dimensional patterns of surface wrinkling on a core-shell soft sphere are
investigated through buckling and postbuckling analyses under differential tissue growth or …

A non-Euclidean plate is a thin elastic object whose intrinsic geometry is not flat and hence
has residual stresses arising from being embedded in three dimensional space. Recently …

Constrained swelling or shrinkage of such soft materials as elastomers, polymeric
hydrogels, and biological tissues can create various surface patterns through surface …

We investigate the influence of curvature and topology on crystalline dimpled patterns on the
surface of generic elastic bilayers. Our numerical analysis predicts that the total number of …

Living thin structures such as cell cortex layers and multicellular sheets often exhibit intricate
morphologies and dynamic behaviors, including Turing's pattern, periodic oscillation, and …

We investigate the morphologies and maximum packing density of thin wires packed into
spherical cavities. Using simulations and experiments, we find that ordered as well as …

Abstract Space-saving design is a requirement that is encountered in biological systems and
the development of modern technological devices alike. Many living organisms dynamically …

When a thin film bonded to a compliant substrate is subject to in‐plane compressive loading,
wrinkles on the thin film may form as a consequence of deformation instability. The …
