Details:From formation of the great Himalayas millions of years back to the very latest technology of stretchable electronics, several striking phenomena can be explained by studying wrinkling and folding of a solid under compression. In this talk, I shall discuss a paper that investigates how a thin elastic sheet, supported on a suitable substrate can undergo a continuous transition from wrinkling to folding under gradually increased compression.Luka Pocivavsek, et al. , Science, Vol-320, pp:912-916 (2008). | ||
