Variational derivation of the Flamant solution for a nonlinear elastic wedge
Dominik Engl, Paul Plucinsky, Ian Tobasco
Concentrated forces acting at the tip of a two-dimensional wedge give rise to the classical Flamant solution to linear elasticity, whose displacement and strain are singular at the…

Curvature-driven wrinkling of thin elastic shells
Ian Tobasco
How much energy does it take to stamp a thin elastic shell flat? Motivated by recent experiments on the wrinkling patterns of floating shells, we develop a rigorous method via -…
