TAYLOR INSTABILITY OF A FLAT PLATE

Abstract

A flat plate experiences a transverse acceleration under the action of a pressure that also produces plastic yielding throughout the plate. Taylor instability is considered on the assumptions of a single degree of freedom, incompressible flow, and the Prandtl-Reuss constitutive equations in the limiting cases of (A) infinitesimal perturbations and (B) rigid-plastic flow (yield stress/shear modulus approaches O).
