Impact on Thin Elastic Sheets

Download to your calendar using vCal

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Raymond E. Goldstein .

We study transverse impacts of rigid objects on a free elastic membrane, using thin circular sheets of natural rubber as experimental models. We report on a set of experiments and theoretical remarks on the occurrence of a wrinkling instability. We also describe the dynamics of the impacted membrane when it stands on a liquid substrate. Applications to the fracture pattern of glass windows and to celestial impacts will be discussed.

This talk is part of the Fluid Mechanics (DAMTP) series.
