Elastic-instability triggered pattern formation.
Recent experiments have exploited elastic instabilities in membranes to create complex patterns. However, the rational design of such structures poses many challenges, as they are products of nonlinear elastic behavior. We pose a simple model for determining the orientational order of such patterns using only linear elasticity theory which correctly predicts the outcomes of several experiments....
متن کاملPattern Formation in a 2D Elastic Solid
We present a dynamical theory of a two–dimensional martensitic transition in an elastic solid, connecting a high–temperature phase which is nondegenerate and has triangular symmetry, and a low– temperature phase which is triply degenerate and has oblique symmetry. A global mode–based Galerkin method is employed to integrate the deterministic equation of motion, the latter of which is derived by...
متن کاملTaming contact line instability for pattern formation
Coating surfaces with different fluids is prone to instability producing inhomogeneous films and patterns. The contact line between the coating fluid and the surface to be coated is host to different instabilities, limiting the use of a variety of coating techniques. Here we take advantage of the instability of a receding contact line towards cusp and droplet formation to produce linear pattern...
متن کاملPattern Formation (ii): the Turing Instability
1. Growing modes in a reaction-diffusion system In this section we summarize the classical linear Turing instability criterion for a reaction-diffusion system. Consider a reaction-diffusion system of 2-species as ∂U ∂t = ∇ · (D1 (U,V )∇U) + f (U,V ) , (1.1) ∂V ∂t = ∇ · (D2 (U,V )∇V ) + g (U,V ) , where U (x,t) ,V (x,t) are concentration for species, D1, D2 diffusion coefficients, f, g reaction ...
متن کاملPrescribed pattern transformation in swelling gel tubes by elastic instability.
We present a study on swelling-induced circumferential buckling of tubular shaped gels. Inhomogeneous stress develops as the gel swells under mechanical constraints, which gives rise to spontaneous buckling instability without an external force. Full control over the postbuckling pattern is experimentally demonstrated. A simple analytical model is developed using elastic energy to predict stabi...
