Analysis of Dynamic Surface Instabilities in Soft Hydrogel Cylinders Subject to Laser-Driven Shock-Loading

Soft materials subject to both static and dynamic loading are known to exhibit a variety of mechanical instabilities which may lead to intricate surface deformation patterns. In particular, creases and wrinkles have been found to play an important role in the morphogenesis of soft tissues and tumor...
