H. - Longitudinal versus polar wrinkling of core-shell fibers with anisotropic size mismatches. Physical Review E. Vol. 89, nr.1 (2014), p. 012403-1/012403-7.1539-375510.1103/PhysRevE.89.012403http://hdl.handle.net/10400.21/3628We consider a fiber made of a soft elastic material, encased in a stiff elastic shell (core-shell geometry). If the core and shell dimensions are mismatched, e.g., because the core shrinks while the shell does not, but the two remain attached, then an elastic instability is triggered whereby wrinkles may appear on the shell. The wrinkle orientation may be longitudinal (along the fiber axis), polar (along the fiber perimeter), or a mixture of both, depending on the fiber's geometrical and material parameters. Here we investigate under what conditions longitudinal or polar wrinkling will occur.engLongitudinalPolar wrinklingCore-shell fibersAnisotropic size mismatchesjournal article
