  Single-mode deformations of two-dimensional materials, such as the Miura-ori
zig-zag fold, are important to the design of deployable structures because of
their robustness; these usually require careful pre-patterning of the material.
Here we show that inward contraction of a curved boundary produces a fine
wrinkle pattern with a novel structure that suggests similar single-mode
characteristics, but with minimal pre-patterning. Using finite-element
representation of the contraction of a thin circular annular sheet, we show
that these sheets wrinkle into a structure well approximated by an isometric
structure composed of conical sectors and flat, triangular facets. Isometry
favours the restriction of such deformations to a robust low-bending energy
channel that avoids stretching. This class of buckling offers a novel way to
manipulate sheet morphology via boundary forces.
