Surface Instabilities in Cracks [PDF]
The surface of a propagating crack is shown to be morphologically unstable because of the nonhydrostatic stresses near the surface (Asaro-Tiller-Grinfeld instability). We find that the energy of a wavy crack becomes smaller than the energy of a straight crack if the crack length is a few times larger than the Griffith length.

Viscoelastic surface instabilities [PDF]
We review three different types of viscoelastic surface instabilities: The Rayleigh–Plateau, the Saffman–Taylor and the Faraday instabilities. These instabilities are classical examples of hydrodynamic surface instabilities. The addition of a small amount of polymer to pure water can alter its flow behavior drastically and the type of instability may ...

Creep crack energy dissipation and instability prediction in micritic bioclastic limestone
Time-dependent deformation and long-term stability of rocks are important issues in water conservancy and geotechnical engineering. Currently, there are no well-accepted theoretical criteria with which to predict stability and damage considering time ...

Instability of certain capillary surfaces [PDF]
Previously the second author has constructed, for a uniform gravitational field, a container shape \({\mathcal C}\) such that there exists a continuum of rotational symmetric capillary surfaces which have the striking property that they all meet \({\mathcal C}\) in the same contact angle \(\gamma\), bound with \({\mathcal C}\) the same volume V of ...

To explore the deep sliding instability mechanism of a soil slope, taking the subgrade slope instability at K1219+000 of the downward line of the Beijing-Guangzhou railway as an example, the deformation and failure characteristics, geomechanical process ...

Surface instabilities and nuclear multifragmentation [PDF]
Central heavy-ion collisions, as described by a Boltzman-Nordheim-Vlasov calculation, form nuclear disks that break up into several fragments due to surface instabilities of the Rayleigh-Taylor kind. We demonstrate that a sheet of liquid, nuclear or otherwise, stable in the limit of infinitely sharp surfaces, becomes unstable due to surface-surface ...

Surface instability of static liquid metal in magnetized fusion plasma
Understanding surface instability in magnetized fusion plasma supports the appropriate implementation and handling of liquid metal as plasma facing components (PFCs) in future fusion reactors.

Surface Instability in a Nematic Elastomer
Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) are soft phase-changing solids that exhibit large reversible contractions upon heating, Goldstone-like soft modes and resultant microstructural instabilities. We heat a planar LCE slab to isotropic, clamp the lower surface then cool back to nematic.
