Direct numerical simulations of three-dimensional surface instability patterns in thin film-compliant substrate structures

Abstract A comprehensive numerical study of three-dimensional surface instability patterns is presented. The formation of wrinkles is a consequence of deformation instability when a thin film, bonded to a compliant substrate, is subject to in-plane compressive loading. We apply a recently developed...
