Abstract
Compared to synthetic materials, naturally grown biological materials have more specific behavioral patterns and life connotations in their morphological evolution over millions of years of environmental evolution on Earth. In this paper, we investigate the physical mechanisms and manifestations of out-of-plane deformation instability. Firstly, the origin of the instability phenomenon caused by the growth of the leaf is introduced. Leaf instability problems are modeled using rectangular thin plates. Secondly, the variation in the critical intrinsic strain with the principal shear modulus is obtained by numerical solution. The post-buckling behavior of the growth instability is further analyzed by general static analysis, and we obtain the phase diagram of morphogenesis of thin plant organs as functions of the principal shear modulus and off-axis angle. The research results enhance the understanding of the mechanism of elastic instability caused by natural growth in orthotropic materials.
