Learning Objectives:
-
What is an instability? A sudden change in behaviour in response to a small change in conditions.
-
Instabilities usually involve a change in symmetry from a more symmetric situation to a less symmetric one
-
The mechanism for an instability usually involves two competing forces (one force stabilizing the symmetric state, and the other one destabilizing it), with one suddenly winning the contest
-
These competing forces in thin objects are often the forces of compression (destabilizing force - favors buckling or wrinkling) and of bending (stabilizing force).
Understanding by data collapse, the power of using …
