An Elastically Stabilized Spherical Invagination
Tóm tắt
Invaginations are partial enclosures formed by surfaces. Typically formed by biological membranes; they abound in nature. In this paper, we consider fundamentally different structures: elastically stabilized invaginations. Focusing on spherical invaginations formed by elastic membranes, we carried out experiments and mathematical modeling to understand the stress and strain fields underlying stable structures. Friction plays a key role in stabilization, and consequently the required force balance is an inequality. Using a novel scheme, we were able to find stable solutions of the balance equations for different models of elasticity, with reasonable agreement with experiments.
