Morphological instabilities and surface wrinkling of soft materials such as gels and biological
tissues are of growing interest to a number of academic disciplines including soft …

The dynamics and stability of thin liquid films have fascinated scientists over many decades:
the observations of regular wave patterns in film flows down a windowpane or along …

In many animals, the bonding of tendon and cartilage to bone is extremely tough (for
example, interfacial toughness∼ 800 J m− 2; refs,), yet such tough interfaces have not been …

Mechanical instabilities in soft materials, specifically wrinkling, have led to the formation of
unique surface patterns for a wide range of applications that are related to surface …

Surface instabilities in soft matter have been the subject of increasingly innovative research
aimed at better understanding the physics of their formation and their utility in patterning …

Few advanced mechanics of materials solutions have found broader and more enduring
applications than Emil Winkler's beam on elastic foundation analysis, first published in 1867 …

The free surface of a thin soft polymer film is often found to become unstable and self-
organizes into various meso-scale structures. In this article we classify the instability of a thin …

The effect of modulus and film thickness on the release of adhered spores and sporelings
(young plants) of the green fouling alga Ulva (syn. Enteromorpha) was investigated. PDMS …

In this article, a connection is made between the behavior of thin layers of Newtonian liquids
under tensile loading conditions and the behavior of highly deformable elastic or …

Inspired by the observation that many naturally occurring adhesives arise as textured thin
films, we consider the displacement–controlled peeling of a flexible plate from an incision …
