The interaction of wrinkles and vertical folds in single-layer and multilayer graphene sheets lying on a flat substrate was simulated. It is shown that when the sheet slides freely on the substrate, the interaction of wrinkles and folds is reduced to tugging of the part of the sheet located between them. The interaction of two wrinkles always leads to the growth of the larger one due to the disappearance of the smaller one, and the interaction of a fold with a wrinkle always leads to an increase in the first and the disappearance of the second. The interaction of two folds can only lead to a change in their shape. Therefore, with low uniaxial compression, only one wrinkle can form in the sheet, and with strong uniaxial compression, only several stable folds can form. The pinning of sheet atoms on the substrate can lead to the existence of several stable wrinkles. Depinning the sheet at high temperatures leads to the disappearance of wrinkles and the formation of vertical folds from them. This scenario explains the mechanism of action of thermal annealing of small wrinkles in graphene. Keywords: graphene, graphene wrinkles and folds, flat substrate.
