520 $a This thesis presents four investigations into mechanical aspects of soft thin structures, focusing on the effects of stochastic and thermal fluctuations and of material inhomogeneities.
520 $a First, we study the self-organization of arrays of high-aspect ratio elastic micropillars into highly regular patterns via capillary forces. We develop a model of capillary-mediated clustering of the micropillars, characterize the model using computer simulations, and quantitatively compare it to experimental realizations of the self-organized patterns. The extent of spatial regularity of the patterns depends on the interplay between cooperative enhancement and history-dependent stochastic disruption of order during the clustering process.
520 $a Next, we investigate the influence of thermal fluctuations on the mechanics of homogeneous, elastic spherical shells. We show that thermal fluctuations give rise to temperature- and size-dependent corrections to shell theory predictions for the mechanical response of spherical shells. These corrections diverge as the ratio of shell radius to shell thickness becomes large, pointing to a drastic breakdown of classical shell theory due to thermal fluctuations for extremely thin shells.
520 $a Finally, we present two studies of the mechanical properties of thin spherical shells with structural inhomogeneities in their walls. The first study investigates the effect of a localized reduction in shell thickness---a soft spot---whereas the second studies shells with a smoothly varying thickness. In both cases, the inhomogeneity significantly alters the response of the shell to a uniform external pressure, revealing new ways to control the strength and shape of initially spherical elastic capsules.
