Bendability parameter for twisted ribbons to describe longitudinal wrinkling and delineate the near-threshold regime

Madelyn Leembruggen, Jovana Andrejevic, Arshad Kudrolli +1

We propose a dimensionless bendability parameter, ${\epsilon }^{-1}=[{\left(h/W\right)}^2{T}^{-1}{]}^{-1}$ for wrinkling of thin, twisted ribbons with thickness $h$, width $W$, and tensional st…
