Journal ArticleDOI

Elastic surface—substrate interactions

TL;DR: In this paper, a theory for three-dimensional finite deformations of elastic solids with conforming elastic films attached to their bounding surfaces is described, based on the Gurtin-Murdoch theory incorporating elastic resistance of the film to strain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tension-field theory

TL;DR: In this paper, a general theory of the tension field is developed for application to the analysis of wrinkling in isotropic elastic membranes undergoing finite deformations, where the principal contribution is a partial differential equation describing a geometrical property of tension trajectories.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plane deformations of elastic solids with intrinsic boundary elasticity

TL;DR: In this article, a nonlinear theory of elastic boundary coating (or reinforcement) of an elastic solid is developed for plane strain deformations, which is applied to the analysis of the equilibrium of a finitely deformed halfplane consisting of compressible elastic material coated along its edge.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pantographic metamaterials: an example of mathematically driven design and of its technological challenges

TL;DR: P pantographic metamaterials undergo very large deformations while remaining in the elastic regime, are very tough in resisting to damage phenomena, and exhibit robust macroscopic mechanical behavior with respect to minor changes in their microstructure and micromechanical properties.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fluid Films with Curvature Elasticity

TL;DR: In this article, the phenomenology of surfactant fluid-film microstructures interspersed in bulk fluids poses significant challenges to continuum theory by using simple models of elastic surfaces.
