Most previous studies were limited to planar substrates, and the investigation of a closed film on a curved substrate is rare yet such system is highly relevant to quite a few natural and biological systems. We establish the framework of elastic buckling of a model spheroidal thin film/substrate system, in which the bifurcation is driven by anisotropic (non-equi-biaxial) compressive stresses in the film. A reduced theoretical model is proposed, from which explicit formulae are derived to correlate the undulation characteristics with the geometry and material property of a prolate system. Various ways to manipulate the undulations are discussed. It is shown that some global features of quite a few natural and biological systems, for example the distinctive patterns observed in various fruits, vegetables, nuts, eggs, tissues, animal body parts, etc., can be reproduced by anisotropic stress-driven buckling on spheroidal film/substrate models. The mechanical principles and the potential of mechanical self-assembly are demonstrated for fabricating three-dimensional gear-like microstructures. Thus, the mechanics framework studied herein has important implications on morphogenesis, as well as having potential applications to guide micro-fabrications via controlled self-assembly on curved substrate surfaces.
