... of mechanical instability, the lateral-torsional buckling of serpentine structures has important applications on the structural design of electrical interconnects embedded in island-bridge layouts of the stretchable electronic devices [ 13 ]. In general, laterally buckled serpentine interconnects enable...

... 11 2012 22 11 2012 Analytical models have been established to study the lateral buckling of interconnects under shear in a noncoplanar mesh design for stretchable electronics. Analytical expressions are obtained for the critical load and buckling shape at the onset of buckling by solving...
