Axisymmetric Ridges and Circumferential Buckling of Indented Shells of Revolution
Matteo Taffetani, Martin G. Walker
When poking a thin shell-like structure, like a plastic water bottle, experience shows that an initial axisymmetric dimple forms around the indentation point. The ridge of this dim…
Snap-induced morphing: From a single bistable shell to the origin of shape bifurcation in interacting shells
Mingchao Liu, Lucie Domino, Iris Dupont de Dinechin +2
The bistability of embedded elements provides a natural route through which to introduce reprogrammability to elastic meta-materials. One example of this is the soft morphable shee…
Morphology of residually-stressed tubular tissues: Beyond the elastic multiplicative decomposition
Pasquale Ciarletta, Michel Destrade, Artur L. Gower +1
Many interesting shapes appearing in the biological world are formed by the onset of mechanical instability. In this work we consider how the build-up of residual stress can cause…
Static bistability of spherical caps
Matteo Taffetani, Xin Jiang, Douglas P. Holmes +1
Depending on its geometry, a spherical shell may exist in one of two stable states without the application of any external force: there are two `self-equilibrated' states, one natu…
Regimes of wrinkling in pressurized elastic shells
Matteo Taffetani, Dominic Vella
We consider the point-indentation of a pressurized elastic shell. It has previously been shown that such a shell is subject to a wrinkling instability as the indentation depth is q…
