Buckling of an axisymmetric vesicle under compression: the effects of resistance to shear

We consider the axisymmetric deformation of an initially spherical, porous vesicle with incompressible membrane having finite resistance to in-plane shearing, as the vesicle is compressed between parallel plates. We adopt a thin-shell balance-of-forces formulation in which the mechanical properties...
