Spatial resolution of wrinkle patterns in thin elastic sheets at finite strain
نویسندگان
چکیده
Koiter's nonlinear plate theory is used to simulate the wrinkling patterns observed in stretched thin elastic sheets. The phenomenon considered is associated with wrinkle patterns distributed over the interior of the sheet, in regions where the stretching and bending energies are of the same order of magnitude. Numerical solutions to several equilibrium boundary-value problems are obtained by the method of dynamic relaxation based on a dissipative dynamical system and compared with existing experimental, numerical, and analytical results. & 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

Stretch-induced stress patterns and wrinkles in hyperelastic thin sheets
Wrinkles are commonly observed in stretched thin sheets and membranes. This paper presents a numerical study on stretch-induced wrinkling of hyperelastic thin sheets based on nonlinear finite element analyses. The model problem is set up for uniaxial stretching of a rectangular sheet with two clamped ends and two free edges. A two-dimensional stress analysis is performed first under the plane-s...
متن کاملCurvature-induced stiffness and the spatial variation of wavelength in wrinkled sheets.
Wrinkle patterns in compressed thin sheets are ubiquitous in nature and technology, from the furrows on our foreheads to crinkly plant leaves, from ripples on plastic-wrapped objects to the protein film on milk. The current understanding of an elementary descriptor of wrinkles--their wavelength--is restricted to deformations that are parallel, spatially uniform, and nearly planar. However, most...
متن کاملStretch-induced wrinkling of polyethylene thin sheets: Experiments and modeling
This paper presents a study on stretch-induced wrinkling of thin polyethylene sheets when subjected to uniaxial stretch with two clamped ends. Three-dimensional digital image correlation was used to measure the wrinkling deformation. It was observed that the wrinkle amplitude increased as the nominal strain increased up to around 10%, but then decreased at larger strain levels. This behavior is...
متن کاملWrinkling Simulation of Membrane Structures under Tensile and Shear Loading
This paper presents a detailed Finite Element Analysis study of the formation and evolution of wrinkle pattern that observed in stretched thin membranes. The model problem is set up under the various load conditions. As a precondition for wrinkling, development of compressive stresses in the transverse direction is found to depend on both the length-to-width aspect ratio & thickness of the rect...
متن کاملWrinkle Patterns of Anisotropic Crystal Films on Viscoelastic Substrates
This paper presents a nonlinear mathematical model for evolution of wrinkle patterns of an anisotropic crystal film on a viscoelastic substrate layer. The underlying mechanism of wrinkling has been generally understood as a stress-driven instability. Previously, theoretical studies on wrinkling have assumed isotropic elastic properties for the film. Motivated by recent experimental observations...
