Understanding and controlling hexagonal patterns of wrinkles in neo-Hookean elastic bilayer structures

Teng Zhang

A controlled surface wrinkling pattern has been widely used in diverse applications, such as stretchable electronics, smart windows, and haptics. Here, we focus on hexagonal wrinkl…

Mesoscale structure of wrinkle patterns and defect-proliferated liquid crystalline phases

Oleh Tovkach, Junbo Chen, Monica M. Ripp +3

Thin solids often develop elastic instabilities and subsequently complex, multiscale deformation patterns. Revealing the organizing principles of this spatial complexity has ramifi…

Harnessing energy landscape exploration to control the buckling of cylindrical shells

Jack Panter, Junbo Chen, Teng Zhang +1

The complexity and unpredictability of postbuckling responses in even simple thin shells have raised great challenges to emerging technologies exploiting buckling transitions. Here…

Non-uniform Curvature and Anisotropic Deformation Control Wrinkling Patterns on Tori

Xiaoxiao Zhang, Patrick T. Mather, Mark J. Bowick +1

We investigate wrinkling patterns in a tri-layer torus consisting of an expanding thin outer layer, an intermediate soft layer and an inner core with a tunable shear modulus, inspi…

Deriving a lattice model for neo-Hookean solids from finite element methods

Teng Zhang

Lattice models are popular methods for simulating deformation of solids by discretizing continuum structures into spring networks. Despite the simplicity and efficiency, most latti…

Buckling without bending: a new paradigm in morphogenesis

T. A. Engstrom, Teng Zhang, A. K. Lawton +2

A curious feature of organ and organoid morphogenesis is that in certain cases, spatial oscillations in the thickness of the growing "film" are out-of-phase with the deformation of…
