Abstract

We investigate the dynamics of the classical Euler buckling of compressed solid membranes. We relate the membrane buckling dynamics to phase ordering phenomena. Membrane develops a wavelike pattern whose wavelength grows, via coarsening, as a power of time. Evolving membrane is similar to rough growing surfaces (“growing interfaces”) whose roughness grows as a power of time. Membrane buckling dynamics is characterized by a distinct scaling behavior not found in other coarsening phenomena

12. Rouse dynamics does not incorporate long range effects of hydrodynamic back-flows on moving membranes [Zimm effects, see, e.g., Frey, E. and Nelson, D. R., J. Phys. I (France) 1, 1715 (1991)]. These effects can be readily included into our scaling analysis, which then yields, for the Zimm dynamics, δ = (2 – v)/(3 – v), and β = nc = 1/(3 – v); D. Moldovan and L. Golubovic (unpublished). With v=1/3 [4], we thus have δ δ 5/8 and β δ n c =3/8, for the Zimm dynamics.Google Scholar
