A ray method of solving problems connected with a shock interaction (Q1341971): Difference between revisions

Problems connected with a shock interaction of a thin elastic cylindrical bar and an elastic sphere with an Uflyand-Mindlin plate of a finite size are considered. An impact process is accompanied by material local deformations and propagation of wave surfaces of a strong or weak discontinuity in elastic bodies coming in contact. The local deformations are taken into account in terms of the Hertz's contact theory, but the dynamic deformations behind the fronts of incident and reflected waves are determined by means of truncated power series with variable coefficients (what is known as ray series).
