Surface instability of a semi-infinite isotropic laminated plate under surface van der Waals forces

By means of complex variable method, the present work demonstrates that the surface of a semi-infinite isotropic laminated plate that is being attracted to a rigid contactor through van der Waals forces is always unstable. Two distinct surface instability modes are identified, and their wavenumbers...
