Abstract
The flow-induced surface instabilities of Kramer-type compliant surfaces are investigated by a variety of theoretical approaches. This class of instability includes all those modes of instability for which the mechanism of generation involves essentially inviscid processes. The results should be applicable to all compliant surfaces that could be modelled theoretically by a thin elastic plate, with or without applied longitudinal tension, supported on a springy elastic foundation. with or without a viscous fluid substrate; material damping is also taken into account through the viscoelastic properties of the solid constituents of the coatings.
