Impacts on thin elastic sheets

Résumé

We study transverse impacts of rigid objects on a free elastic membrane, using thin circular sheets of natural rubber as experimental models. After impact, two distinct axisymmetric waves propagate in and on the sheet. First a tensile wave travels at sound speed leaving behind the wave front a stretched domain. Then, a transverse wave propagates on the stretched area at a lower speed. In the stretched area, geometrical confinement induces compressive circumferential stresses leading to a buckling instability, giving rise to radial wrinkles. We report on a set of experiments and theoretical remarks on the conditions of occurrence of these wrinkles, their dynamics and wavelength.
