Herringbone Buckling Patterns of Compressed Thin Films on Compliant Substrates
نویسندگان
چکیده
A thin metal film vapor deposited on thick elastomer substrate develops an equi-biaxial compressive stress state when the system is cooled due to the large thermal expansion mismatch between the elastomer and the metal. At a critical stress, the film undergoes buckling into a family of modes with short wavelengths characteristic of a thin plate on a compliant elastic foundation. As the system is further cooled, a highly ordered herringbone pattern has been observed to develop. Here it is shown that the herringbone mode constitutes a minimum energy configuration among a limited set of competing modes. @DOI: 10.1115/1.1756141#

An analytical study of two-dimensional buckling of thin films on compliant substrates
A stiff thin film on a heated compliant substrate may buckle when the system is cooled due to the thermal expansion mismatch between the film and substrate. Highly ordered and disordered herringbone patterns wavy structures then emerge as the system continues to cool. We have established an analytic approach to study one-dimensional, checkerboard, and ordered herringbone buckling patterns. The ...
متن کاملA family of herringbone patterns in thin films
Upon cooling, a thin metal film deposited on compliant elastomer substrate undergoes equi-biaxial compression and begins to buckle at a critical stress. As further cooling occurs, a highly ordered herringbone pattern self-assembles. The preference for the herringbone pattern over other potential modes is demonstrated based on minimum energy arguments. Control of the pre-buckling in-plane stress...
متن کاملBuckling of a stiff film bound to a compliant substrate (part II). A global scenario for the formation of herringbone pattern
We study the buckling of a thin compressed elastic film bonded to a compliant substrate. We focus on a family of buckling patterns, such that the film profile is generated by two functions of a single variable. This family includes the unbuckled configuration, the classical primary mode made of straight stripes, as well the pattern with undulating stripes obtained by a secondary instability inv...
متن کاملAnalysis of a Compressed Thin Film Bonded to a Compliant Substrate: The Energy Scaling Law
We consider the deformation of a thin elastic film bonded to a thick compliant substrate, when the (compressive) misfit is far beyond critical. We take a variational viewpoint – focusing on the total elastic energy, i.e. the membrane and bending energy of the film plus the elastic energy of the substrate – viewing the buckling of the film as a problem of energy-driven pattern formation. We iden...
متن کاملBuckling of a stiff film bound to a compliant substrate (part III). Herringbone solutions at large buckling parameter
We study the buckling of a compressed thin elastic film bonded to a compliant substrate. An asymptotic solution of the equations for a plate on an elastic foundation is obtained in the limit of large residual stress in the film. In this limit, the film’s shape is given by a popular origami folding, the Miura-ori, and is composed of parallelograms connected by dihedral folds. This asymptotic sol...
