The linear analysis of incompressible Rayleigh–Taylor instability is carried out for thick solid
plates accelerated uniformly by a constant pressure. The instability threshold is found and …

The study of the linear stage of the incompressible Rayleigh-Taylor instability in elastic-
plastic solids is performed by considering thick plates under a constant acceleration that is …

A linear study of the Rayleigh–Taylor instability based on momentum conservation and the
consideration of an irrotational velocity field for incompressible perturbations is discussed …

The Rayleigh–Taylor (RT) instability theory is usually applied to the acceleration of one fluid
by a lower density one, but also becomes applicable to a solid accelerated by a fluid at very …

The linear theory of the incompressible Rayleigh-Taylor instability in elastic-plastic solid
slabs is developed on the basis of the simplest constitutive model consisting in a linear …

We present an analytical model for the Rayleigh-Taylor instability that allows for an
approximate but still very accurate and appealing description of the instability physics in the …

Abstract The Rayleigh-Taylor instability is investigated in a material with a shear modulus μ
and yield stress σ 0. Incompressible experiments are conducted with constant and impulsive …

A new approach to Rayleigh–Taylor instability based on the Newton second law is
presented. The model is applied to the instability analysis of elastic solid/viscous fluid …

Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI) has become a powerful tool for determining the mechanical
properties of materials under extreme conditions. In this paper, we first present the exact and …

A rotating wheel experimental facility was developed to investigate incompressible Rayleigh-
Taylor instability in elastic-plastic materials. A soft solid (mayonnaise) was chosen as the …
