| Summary |
The surface configuration of the rectangular wrinkled membrane subjected to shear and tensile loadings was measured by the Direct Linear Transformation method, and a probability distribution model of the deformation behavior in the formation and dissipation processes of the wrinkles was investigated. The polyimide films whose size was 0.30m x 0.16m were treated. From the results, the probability distribution of the out of plane displacement of the membranes dose not follow the theoretical model such as normal and log normal distributions. However, the probability distribution shape of the logarithmic displacement shows little change during the deformation processes of the membranes and indicates an analogy between the experimental models treated in the work. |
