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

Abstract

Mathematical techniques are developed to analyze the nonlinear wave interactions that occur in both elastic and visco-plastic solids. Representations are also derived to describe small amplitude stress waves in materials whose transmitting properties vary in space and time.
