Abstract

Mother Nature provides unlimited inspirations of ordered patterns across vast scales: from the helical DNA and lipid bilayers at the submicron level, to the skin and tissue wrinkle at the millimeter level, to the ordered shapes in plants and animals at the meter level, and to the geological features at the mega scale. Many of these intriguing patterns are underpinned by mechanics-driven processes, including spontaneous buckling deformation. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media New York. All rights are reserved.
