An analytical model for the linear Richtmyer-Meshkov instability in solids under conditions of
high-energy density is presented, in order to describe the evolution of small perturbations at …

The Richtmyer-Meshkov instability of interfaces separating elastic-plastic materials from
vacuum (heavy-light configuration) is studied by means of computational techniques. A fully …

We present a detailed study of the interface instability that develops at the boundary
between a shell of elastic–plastic material and a cylindrical core of confined gas during the …

Abstract Recently, Richtmyer–Meshkov Instabilities (RMI) have been proposed for studying
the average strength at strain rates up to at least 10 7/s. RMI experiments involve shocking a …

Theoretical analysis of Richtmyer-Meshkov instability (RMI) experiments for solid strength
shows that the strain rate for a given shock should be inversely proportional to the length …

Richtmyer-Meshkov flow is studied by means of an analytical model which describes the
asymptotic oscillations of a corrugated interface between two perfectly elastic solids after the …

A new method for the experimental evaluation of material strength of solids under high
pressures is proposed. The technique is based on inferring the solid yield strength from …

Theoretical treatment of the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability in compressible fluids is a
challenging task due to the presence of compressibility and nonlinearity. In this Letter, we …

We report on experiments to measure the shock-induced growth of sinusoidal perturbations
on thick interfaces separating two gases of different densities. The results show that the …

The acceleration of a material interface by a shock wave generates an interface instability
known as the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability. Previous attempts to model the growth rate of …
