Buckling analysis in stretchable electronics

Abstract In the last decade, stretchable electronics evolved as a class of novel systems that have electronic performances equal to established semiconductor technologies, but can be stretched, compressed, and twisted like a rubber band. The compliance and stretchability of these electronics allow t...
