Bending and wrinkling as competing relaxation pathways for strained free-hanging films
Abstract
An equilibrium phase diagram for the shape of compressively strained free-hanging films is developed by total strain energy minimization. For small strain gradients ε, the film wrinkles, while for sufficiently large ε, a phase transition from wrinkling to bending occurs. We consider competing relaxation mechanisms for free-hanging films, which have rolled up into tube structures, and we provide an upper limit for the maximum achievable number of tube rotations.
