Wrinkling Hierarchy in Constrained Thin Sheets from Suspended Graphene to Curtains

Wrinkling Hierarchy in Constrained Thin Sheets from Suspended Graphene to Curtains

We show that thin sheets under boundary confinement spontaneously generate a universal self-similar hierarchy of wrinkles. From simple geometry arguments and energy scalings, we develop a formalism based on wrinklons, the localized transition zone in the merging of two wrinkles, as building blocks o...
