Instabilities in elastic accelerated solids

When a solid plate is accelerated by an external pressure 0 p an instability similar to the Rayleigh-Taylor one appears if the plate is not perfectly flat. Due to the elastoplastic properties of the material the growth of the instability is lower than in a pure fluid case. In a very simple interpretation, the pressure difference across the irregular surface provokes the instability that can be ...

Book review: Non-Invasive Ventilation Made Simple

Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is well established and increasingly used in routine clinical practice [1], either in the management of acute respiratory failure, where it has resulted in improved survival and reduced number of complications or in weaning from invasive ventilation in intensive care or highdependency units [2]. However, some concepts and techniques of NIV may be difficult to gras...
