Abstract

We consider the free boundary problem for the incompressible elastodynamics equations. At the free boundary moving with the velocity of the fluid particles the columns of the deformation gradient are tangent to the boundary and the pressure vanishes outside the flow domain. We prove the local existence of a unique smooth solution of the free boundary problem, under the mixed type stability condition that some regions of the initial free boundary satisfy the Rayleigh-Taylor sign condition, while the remaining boundary satisfy the non-collinearity condition. In particular, we solve an open problem proposed by Y. Trakhinin in the paper \citeTrak₁8.
