We study the deformation of a fluctuating crystalline sheet confined between two flat rigid walls as a simple model for layered solids where bonds among atoms {\it within} the same layer are much stronger than those {\it between} layers. When subjected to sufficiently high loads in an appropriate geometry, these solids deform and fail in unconventional ways. Recent experiments suggest that configurations named {\it ripplocations}, where a layer folds backwards over itself, are involved. These…

We derive exact results for correlations in the displacement fields {δ~r} ≡ {δrμ=x,y} in near-crystalline athermal systems in two dimensions. We analyze the displacement correlations produced by

Abstract It has long been assumed that basal dislocations were responsible for the deformation of layered, crystalline solids. Herein we make the case that, with the notable exception of some metals
Evidence for Bulk Ripplocations in Layered Solids
• Medicine

• 2016
Atomicistic simulations of graphite are leveraged to extend the ripplocation idea to bulk layered solids, and it is confirmed that it is essentially a buckling phenomenon.
Wrinkling hierarchy in constrained thin sheets from suspended graphene to curtains.
A formalism based on wrinklons, the localized transition zone in the merging of two wrinkles, as building blocks of the global pattern is developed and validated from hundreds of nanometers for graphene sheets to meters for ordinary curtains, which shows the universality of this description.

The data provide conclusive evidence that wrinkle patterns in highly bendable sheets are not described by classical buckling methods, but rather by a theory which assumes that wrinkles completely relax the compressive stress.

It is proved that an energetic hierarchy gives rise to a structural hierarchy, whereby dislocation number and scar number diverge as a/W→0 while scar length and dislocated number per scar become independent of lattice spacing.

We show that a flat two dimensional network of connected vertices, when stretched, may deform plastically by producing "pleats", system spanning linear structures with width comparable to the lattice
