✦ Synopsis

The characteristic properties of free surfaces of elastic bodies, such as propagation speeds of characteristic waves and conditions of instability of the surface shape (wrinkling), are considered. The results are generalized whenever a free surface is streamlined by an inviscid flow. The theory is illustrated by example.

1. Governing equations ,,

Let us consider a free surface of an elastic body streamlined by the flow of an inviscid fluid (Figure 1).
