Elastic Sheets

We will first discuss the stability of liquid films deposited on solid surfaces with an emphasis on the nature of intermolecular forces and thermal fluctuations that conspire to generate complex morphologies. We will see how the global dewetting dynamics is driven by the solid–fluid interface and that dewetting can be a powerful tool to study the nanorheology of complex fluids, such as polymer melts in ultra thin films. In the second part, we will consider thin elastic sheets constrained by mechanical forces. The canonical example of such a system is given by a simple paper ball. We will see how the global geometry of these constraints drastically affects the final shape adopted by the sheet.
