Abstract A simplified theoretical model for the linear Rayleigh-Taylor instability of finite thickness elastic-plastic solid constantly accelerated by finite thickness viscous fluid is performed. With the irrotational assumption, it is possible to consider viscosity, surface tension, elasticity or plasticity effects simultaneously. The model considers thicknesses at rigid wall boundary conditions with the velocity potentials, and deals with solid elastic-plastic transition and fluid viscosity based on the velocity continuity and force equilibrium at contact interface. The complete analytical expressions of the amplitude motion equation, the growth rate, and the instability boundary are obtained for arbitrary Atwood number, viscosity, thicknesses of solid and fluid. The thicknesses effects of two materials on the growth rate and the instability boundary are discussed.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
