Osmotic buckling of spherical capsules
Sebastian Knoche, Jan Kierfeld
We study the buckling of elastic spherical shells under osmotic pressure with the osmolyte concentration of the exterior solution as control parameter. We compare our results for t…

The secondary buckling transition: wrinkling of buckled spherical shells
Sebastian Knoche, Jan Kierfeld
We theoretically explain the complete sequence of shapes of deflated spherical shells. Decreasing the volume, the shell remains spherical initially, then undergoes the classical bu…

Secondary polygonal instability of buckled spherical shells
Sebastian Knoche, Jan Kierfeld
When a spherical elastic capsule is deflated, it first buckles axisymmetrically and subsequently loses its axisymmetry in a secondary instability, where the dimple acquires a polyg…
