Abstract

In order to understand the formation of one-dimension periodic structures by electrospinning, an approximate mechanical approach for the critical load and the number of half waves in the buckled shape have been conducted based on the energy method. Diameter of circular cross-section electrospun fiber is assumed to be equal to the length of the rectangular cross-section spitted fiber. Fiber with rectangular cross section buckles more easily than that with circular cross section because of the different flexural rigidity. For rectangular-section fiber, increase of length to width ratio can result in the increase of the number of half waves. Detailed simulation results for buckling responses of circular-section fiber and rectangular-section fiber have been conducted by commercial finite element analysis software (ABAQUS).
