Localized Structures in Indented Shells: A Numerical Investigation

We present results from a numerical investigation of the localization of deformation in thin elastomeric spherical shells loaded by differently shaped indenters. Beyond a critical indentation, the deformation of the shell ceases to be axisymmetric and sharp structures of localized curvature form, re...
