Converging-diverging shock-driven instabilities along soft hydrogel surfaces

Converging-diverging shock-driven instabilities along soft hydrogel surfaces

Intense surface eruptions are observed along the curved surface of a confined cylindrical film of hydrogel subject to laser-induced converging-diverging shock loading. Detailed numerical simulations are used to identify the dominant mechanisms causing mechanical instability. The mechanisms that prod...
