Configurations evolution of a buckled ribbon in response to out-of-plane loading

Classical Euler buckled ribbon has become the cornerstone of many unprecedented applications such as the recently developed stretchable electronics and mechanical-guided 3D assembly. In practical applications, such Euler buckled ribbon may be subjected to out-of-plane loading. However, previous studies mostly concern about the buckling and post-buckling configurations of ribbons under in-plane compression, but the further mechanical behavior of...
