About this document
Elastocapillary Crease Model Analysis by Arka Das is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document presents a model of elastocapillary creases, which describes how soft elastic materials under compression form creases influenced by both elasticity and capillarity. The model predicts that crease nucleation depends on the size of surface defects relative to the elastocapillary length and occurs over a range of strains rather than at a specific strain, with the loss of surface tension upon self-contact lowering the energy barrier for nucleation. Experimental tests validate the model, demonstra
