Regimes of wrinkling in an indented floating elastic sheet
A thin, elastic sheet floating on the surface of a liquid bath wrinkles when poked at its center. We study the onset of wrinkling as well as the evolution of the pattern as indentation progresses far beyond the wrinkling threshold. We use tension field theory to describe the macroscopic properties o...
