Description
This paper was written to postgraduate students of Physics. It is shown didactically how to calculate rigorously the wrinkling wavelengths observed when rigid thin films are deposited on soft elastic substrates. Our predictions are compared with DLC films deposited on PDMS substrates. Key words: wrinkling wavelengths; thin films.
