Interaction of Large Amplitude Stress Waves in Layered Elastic-Plastic Materials.

Abstract

Mathematical techniques are developed to analyze the nonlinear wave interactions that occur when a uni-directional wave traveling through an hysteretic material arrives at an interface with some other hysteretic material. Also, mathematical techniques are developed to describe the deformations of finitely strained materials surrounding cracks, notches, and inclusions.
