“…As it happens, this asymptotic structure turns out to be quite different from that already investigated previously in similar contexts (e.g., [18,19,21]) and requires a major change of tack. We note in passing that the behaviour of the critical eigenmodes in the present study shares several salient features in common with our previous work [31,32,33,34,35] dealing with the wrinkling of various thin plate or shell configurations. The paper concludes in §5 with a brief discussion of the main results and their extensions to related situations.…”
