In this study, we investigate swelling-induced buckling patterns in gel films containing a square lattice of holes subjected to in-plane pretensions. In accord with experiments, we simulate poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) films being prestrained and then swelled using toluene. Films are subjected to uniaxial and bi-axial pretensions before swelling to investigate the potential ability of this system to generate complex buckling patterns. Finite element analysis is performed using an inhomogeneous field theory for polymeric gels. The resulting patterns are found to be highly diverse and depend sensitively on the type and magnitude of pretensions. The patterns arise from either transformation into diamond plate patterns (DPPs) or no pattern transformation. Diagrams of pattern transformation contain three regions of DPPs, transitional patterns, and monotonous patterns. Pretensions both distort the initial arrangement of the square lattice of holes and delay the onset of transformation into DPPs.
