This lecture explores the deployment of a thin elastic rod onto a rigid substrate, studying resulting coiling patterns through precision experiments, scaling analyses, and simulations. It delves into phase diagrams, instability modes, and the interplay of gravitational, bending, and twisting energies. The dimensional analysis and scaling laws are applied to predict physical mechanisms, emphasizing the significance of natural curvature in pattern formation.
