The epithelium is bodily tissue which can transform itself in a developing embryo into new structures that set the basic shape and direction of the body and gut. Many studies treat the shape transformation as the buckling of a confined ring of expanding epithelium cells, often within an energy-based analytical framework or simulated via sophisticated numerical or computation analysis.

This talk will describe the “mechanics” of this, and other, buckling scenarios successfully in terms of concepts from Structural Mechanics taught in Part IA of the Engineering Tripos.
