MIT mathematician Pedro Reis demonstrates the delamination that occurs when a surface is compressed: The tape detaches from the surface and forms blisters of uniform size and spacing. (Photo by Donna Coveney) Delamination of a thin film from an elastic substrate High-amplitude blister forming on a rigid substrate Axisymmetric deformation of cylindrical wall from surface compression (top) and tension (bottom) and concentrated moments Comparison of test and theory for axisymmetric deformation of cells

Surface-tension-induced buckling of liquid-lined elastic tubes: a model for pulmonary airway closure Void in an elastomer: Breathing, buckling, creasing Proposed model representing the buckling destruction of polyethoxydisiloxane (PEDS) aerogels Shape of a soap film attached to a flexible loop that resists bending and twisting A growing filament confined in a compliant shell

Behavior of growing fibers confined inside a compliant shell Wrinkling of a thin sheet draped on a liquid droplet Successive stages of wrinkling (buckling) and post-wrinkling (post-buckling) of the thin sheet draped over a liquid droplet Buckling of growing biofilm Buckling of a thin film strip in the narrow contact region between a cylinder wrapped around a sphere
