Impact on floating thin elastic sheets: A mathematical model
We investigate impact of a sphere onto a floating elastic sheet and the resulting formation and evolution of wrinkles in the sheet. Following impact, we observe a radially propagating wave, beyond which the sheet remains approximately planar but is decorated by a series of radial wrinkles whose wave...
