Developing a Computer System for the Generation of Unique Wrinkle Maps for Human Faces. Generating 2D Wrinkle Maps using Various Image Processing Techniques and the Design of 3D Facial Ageing System using 3D Modelling Tools
… of ageing is the appearance and development of wrinkles. Facial wrinkles are skin folds; their shapes and numbers differ from one person to another, therefore, an advantage can be taken over these characteristics if a system is implemented to extract the facial wrinkles in a form of maps. This …

Effect of Geometric Imperfections (Wrinkles) on the Circumferential Strength of a Composite Polymer Liner for Pressure Pipes
… in the formation of geometric imperfections (wrinkles) as the external diameter of the liner often exceeds the internal diameter of the host pipe. Previous studies have suggested that the wrinkles have a detrimental effect on the structural performance of the liner. In this study, experimental …

Fabrication of metal-oxide thin-films and features on dissimilar materials via ion-assisted codeposition
… beams have been used to sputter deposit metals, pattern polycrystalline metals, controllably oxidize metal surfaces, and induce chemical changes in the surfaces of polymers. Presented here is a single step technique that draws on these, utilizing dual ion beams to deposit, oxidize, and pattern Zn …

Modeling and Simulation of Morphological Instabilities in Thin Elastic Solids
… for novel functionality. The formation of wrinkle patterns on thin sheets has also emerged rapidly as canonical problems to investigate pattern formation in the physics community. The nonlinearities of the post-buckling behaviors encountered in these problems make theoretical analysis a …
