Abstract: Abstract Contact instability of thin elastic films rigidly bonded to patterned substrates, in comparison to those bonded to smooth substrates, were found to form highly miniaturized patterns at their free surfaces. Through finite element simulations,… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract In this paper we study an elementary functorial construction from the category of finite non-abelian groups to the category of singular compact, oriented 2-manifolds. After a desingularization process this construction results in a finite… read more here.
