We demonstrate with experiments that wrinkling in stretched latex sheets occur over finite strains, and that their amplitudes grow and then decay to zero over a greater range of applied strains compared with linear elastic materials. The wrinkles occur provided the sheet is sufficiently thin compared to its width, and only over a finite range of length-to-width ratios. We show with simulations that the Mooney-Rivlin hyperelastic model describes the observed growth and decay of the wrinkles in our experiments. The decrease of wavelength with applied tension is found to be consistent with a far-from-threshold scenario proposed by Cerda and Mahadevan in 2003. However, the amplitude is observed to decrease with increasing tensile load, in contrast with the prediction of their original model. We address the crucial assumption of {it collapse of compressive stress}, as opposed to collapse of compressive strain, underlying the far-from-threshold analysis, and test it by measuring the actual arc-length of the stretched sheet in the transverse direction and its difference from the width of a planar projection of the wrinkled shape. Our experiments and numerical simulations indicate a complete {it collapse of the compressive stress}, and reveal that a proper implementation of the far-from-threshold analysis is consistent with the non-monotonic dependence of the amplitude on applied tensile load observed in experiments and simulations. Thus, our work support and extend far-from-threshold analysis to the stretching problem of rectangular hyperelastic sheets.

Twisting sheets as a strategy to form yarns with nested structure lacks scientific guiding principles but relies on millennia of human experience in making catguts, food packaging, and redeployable fabric wearables. We formulate a tensional twist-fol ding route to making yarns with prescribed folded, scrolled, and encapsulated architectures by remote boundary loading. By harnessing micro-focus x-ray scanning to noninvasively image the fine internal structure, we show that a twisted sheet follows a surprisingly ordered folding transformation as it self-scrolls to form structured yarns. As a sheet is twisted by a half-turn, we find that the elastic sheet spiral accordion folds with star polygon shapes characterized by Schlafli symbols set by the primary instability. A scalable model incorporating dominant stretching modes with origami kinematics explains not only the observed multilayered structure, torque, and energetics, but also the topological transformation into yarns with prescribed crosssections through recursive folding and twist localization. By using hyperelastic materials, we further demonstrate that a wide range of structures can be readily redeployed, going well beyond other self-assembly methods in current broad use.
We investigate with experiments the twist induced transverse buckling instabilities of an elastic sheet of length $L$, width $W$, and thickness $t$, that is clamped at two opposite ends while held under a tension $T$. Above a critical tension $T_lamb da$ and critical twist angle $eta_{tr}$, we find that the sheet buckles with a mode number $n geq 1$ transverse to the axis of twist. Three distinct buckling regimes characterized as clamp-dominated, bendable, and stiff are identified, by introducing a bendability length $L_B$ and a clamp length $L_{C}(<L_B)$. In the stiff regime ($L>L_B$), we find that mode $n=1$ develops above $eta_{tr} equiv eta_S sim (t/W) T^{-1/2}$, independent of $L$. In the bendable regime $L_{C}<L<L_B$, $n=1$ as well as $n > 1$ occur above $eta_{tr} equiv eta_B sim sqrt{t/L}T^{-1/4}$. Here, we find the wavelength $lambda_B sim sqrt{Lt}T^{-1/4}$, when $n > 1$. These scalings agree with those derived from a covariant form of the Foppl-von Karman equations, however, we find that the $n=1$ mode also occurs over a surprisingly large range of $L$ in the bendable regime. Finally, in the clamp-dominated regime ($L < L_c$), we find that $eta_{tr}$ is higher compared to $eta_B$ due to additional stiffening induced by the clamped boundary conditions.

Thin elastic sheets supported on compliant media form wrinkles under lateral compression. Since the lateral pressure is coupled to the sheets deformation, varying it periodically in time creates a parametric excitation. We study the resulting paramet ric resonance of wrinkling modes in sheets supported on semi-infinite elastic or viscoelastic media, at pressures smaller than the critical pressure of static wrinkling. We find distinctive behaviors as a function of excitation amplitude and frequency, including (a) a different dependence of the dynamic wrinkle wavelength on sheet thickness compared to the static wavelength; and (b) a discontinuous decrease of the wrinkle wavelength upon increasing excitation frequency at sufficiently large pressures. In the case of a viscoelastic substrate, resonant wrinkling requires crossing a threshold of excitation amplitude. The frequencies for observing these phenomena in relevant experimental systems are of the order of a kilohertz and above. We discuss experimental implications of the results.

A controlled surface wrinkling pattern has been widely used in diverse applications, such as stretchable electronics, smart windows, and haptics. Here, we focus on hexagonal wrinkling patterns because of their great potentials in realizing anisotropi c and tunable friction and serving as a dynamical template for making non-flat thin films through self-assembling processes. We employ large-scale finite element simulations of a bilayer neo-Hookean solid (e.g., a film bonded on a substrate) to explore mechanical principles that govern the formation of hexagonal wrinkling patterns and strategies for making nearly perfect hexagonal patterns. In our model, the wrinkling instabilities are driven by the confined film expansion. Our results indicate robust hexagonal patterns exist at a relatively small modulus mismatch (on the order of 10) between the film and substrate. Besides, the film expansion should not exceed the onset of wrinkling value too much to avoid post-buckling patterns. By harnessing the imperfection insensitivity of one-dimension sinusoidal wrinkles, we apply a sequential loading to the bilayer structure to produce the nearly perfect hexagonal patterns. Lastly, we discuss the connection between the simple bilayer model and the gradient structures commonly existed in experiments.

Many objects in nature and industry are wrapped in a thin sheet to enhance their chemical, mechanical, or optical properties. There are similarly a variety of methods for wrapping, from pressing a film onto a hard substrate, to using capillary forces to spontaneously wrap droplets, to inflating a closed membrane. Each of these settings raises challenging nonlinear problems involving the geometry and mechanics of a thin sheet, often in the context of resolving a geometric incompatibility between two surfaces. Here we review recent progress in this area, focusing on highly bendable films that are nonetheless hard to stretch, a class of materials that includes polymer films, metal foils, textiles, graphene, as well as some biological materials. Significant attention is paid to two recent advances: (i) a novel isometry that arises in the doubly-asymptotic limit of high flexibility and weak tensile forcing, and (ii) a simple geometric model for predicting the overall shape of an interfacial film while ignoring small-scale wrinkles, crumples, and folds.
