The buckling of a swollen thin gel layer bound to a compliant substrate
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gels are used to design bilayered structures with high residual stresses. The swelling of a thin layer on a compliant substrate leads to compressive stresses. The post-buckling of this layer is investigated experimentally; the wavelengths and amplitudes of the resulting modes are measured. A simplified model with a self-avoiding rod on a Winkler foundation is in semi-quantitative agreement with experiments and reproduces the observed cusp-like folds.

Buckling of a stiff film bound to a compliant substrate (part I). Formulation, linear stability of cylindrical patterns, secondary bifurcations
The buckling of a thin elastic film bound to a compliant substrate is studied: we analyze the different patterns that arise as a function of the biaxial residual compressive stress in the film. We first clarify the boundary conditions to be used at the interface between film and substrate. We carry out the linear stability analysis of the classical pattern made of straight stripes, and point ou...

The aim of this study is to create TiO2 coating on the tile substrate using cell-gel and immersion method. Initially, TiO2 coating was prepared by sol gel method and then, deposition was performed in three stages with different immersion periods of 20, 40 and 60 s and finally, the samples were calcined at 450 °C. The phases and microstructural characteristics of the samples were analyzed using ...
متن کاملBuckling of a stiff film bound to a compliant substrate (part II). A global scenario for the formation of herringbone pattern
We study the buckling of a thin compressed elastic film bonded to a compliant substrate. We focus on a family of buckling patterns, such that the film profile is generated by two functions of a single variable. This family includes the unbuckled configuration, the classical primary mode made of straight stripes, as well the pattern with undulating stripes obtained by a secondary instability inv...
متن کاملConcomitant wrinkling and buckle-delamination of elastic thin films on compliant substrates
Compressing a thin elastic film attached to a thick compliant substrate can lead to buckling instability. Two commonly observed buckling modes, buckle-delamination and wrinkling, have each been analyzed separately in previous studies. Recent experiments have observed that the two modes can co-exist and co-evolve. In this paper, by analytical and finite element methods, we present a study on con...
متن کاملInfluence of substrate compliance on buckling delamination of thin films
A thin film subject to in-plane compressive stress is susceptible to buckling-driven delamination. This paper analyzes a straight-sided delamination buckle with a focus on the effects of substrate compliance, following earlier work by B. Cotterell and Z. Chen. The critical buckling condition, the energy release rate and the mode mix of the interface delamination crack are calculated as a functi...
