This paper reports a detailed buckling analysis of a free-standing annular sheet subjected to partial shrinkage as one of the strategies of morphing structures, which has received considerable attention lately. The linear buckling problem can be decomposed into in-plane and out-of-plane deformations. The in-plane (Lamé) problem is first analysed to determine the stress distribution and show that in-plane hoop compression due to the competition between shrinkage and non-shrinkage zones can induce buckling despite free boundary conditions at the edges of the sheet. Subsequently, buckling analysis is performed to numerically determine buckling strains, to explore the effect of material and geometrical parameters on their buckling thresholds. A simple scaling argument is used to demonstrate that minimised (critical) buckling strain to the shrinkage radius is obtained when the shrinkage area corresponds to the non-shrinkage area. The results demonstrate that critical buckling mode can switch from a saddle to ripple mode when Young’s modulus in the shrinkage zone is approximately ten times that of the non-shrinkage zone, depending on the shrinkage size and radius ratio of the annuli.
