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

Abstract

Mathematical techniques are developed to analyze the responses of materials whose transmitting properties vary rapidly in space and time, either because of inherent inhomogeneities in the material or because of inhomogeneities induced by nonlinearity and a rapidly varying temperature. Keywords: Nonlinear wave interactions; Shocks; Elastic plastic boundaries; Inhomogeneities; Adiabatic shear.
