Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

The problem of the interaction of a gravitational wave with an elastic body, taking account of the secondary gravitational radiation by the vibrating particles of the body, is solved on the basis of a theory of elasticity in the general theory of relativity (GTR) constructed by the author.
