✦ Synopsis
Vortex-sheet growth is considered. Broken symmetry bifurcations are found in the growth process. The collective elasticity theory for a well-developed vortex sheet is presented, which is similar to that of smectic liquid crystals. The bifurcations in the limit of a much folded vortex sheet correspond to the Helfrich instability in smectics and cholesterics.

## Abstract The initiation and growth of wrinkles are influenced by many factors such as stress ratios, the mechanical properties of the sheet material, the geometry of the workpiece, and contact condition. It is difficult to analyse wrinkling initiation and growth while considering all the factors
Superfluid 3 He A-like and B-like phases in 98% aerogel have been studied under rotation up to 2p rad/s by using cw-NMR and Homogeneous Pressing Domain (HPD) NMR at 29 mT and 3.0 MPa. We studied the dissipation of the HPD in aerogel and found that the HPD-mode was destroyed by onset of the thermal r
