On the surface instability of elastic half spaces. (English) Zbl 0659.73045

We present some work on the surface instability of elastic half spaces. An analysis of surface instability of an incompressible half space under biaxial loading is summarized, and the critical condition for the onset of surface buckling is given. As an example in the case of compressible materials, the axisymmetric problem of surface instability for a half space made of standard material is analyzed and the dependence of buckling parameters on the material is revealed.
