GFSW01 - Form and deformation in solid and fluid mechanics

The indentation of a layer of plastic material by a solid object is a classical problem in plasticity theory. Using the method of sliplines (characteristics) Prandtl provided two key solutions suitable for the indentation of either a relatively shallow or deep layer by a flat plate. In this talk I will summarize how both solutions, and their generalizations, apply in three rather different problems:
1) locomotion through a yield-stress fluid (the viscoplastic version of Taylor's 1951 viscous problem),
2) the formation of footprints, and
3) the washboarding instability of a towed plate above a deformable layer
