Wrinkle patterns in active viscoelastic thin sheets

We show that a viscoelastic thin sheet driven out of equilibrium by active structural remodeling, such as during fast growth, develops a rich variety of shapes as a result of a competition between viscous relaxation and activity. In the regime where active processes are faster than viscoelastic rela...
