Dynamics of Fluctuating Thin Sheets Under Random Forcing
arXiv:2301.04903 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.107.025002
Abstract
We study the dynamic structure factor of fluctuating elastic thin sheets subject to conservative (athermal) random forcing. In Steinbock, Katzav & Boudaoud, Phys. Rev. Research 4, 033096 (2022), the static structure factor of such a sheet was studied. In this paper, we recap the model developed there and investigate its dynamic properties. Using the self-consistent expansion (SCE), the time dependent two-point function of the height profile is determined and found to decay exponentially in time. Despite strong nonlinear coupling, the decay rate of the dynamic structure factor is found to coincide with the effective coupling constant for the static properties which suggests that the model under investigation exhibits certain quasi-linear behaviour. Confirmation of these results by numerical simulations is also presented.
