The initial buckling displacements are taken as initial conditions to solve the dynamic postbuckling problem. Non-dimensional dynamic postbuckling equilibrium equations denoted by the displacements are derived and solved by use of the finite difference method. The results reveal the regulation that the dynamic postbuckling deformation develops from the initial low step mode to the subsequent higher step modes under elastic compression wave.

We present the fabrication of submicron polyimide film sandwiched by Al film. The preparation in two-step method and spin-coating parameters of submicron polyimide film are described. To achieve self-supported structure, thick nickel mesh (ca. 200 μm) was introduced by micro-electroforming. Using negative tone photoresist SU-8 2150, the nickel grid width was demonstrated in good agreement with its original design value with optical microscopy.
