Summary

The problem of an impulsively applied pressure acting on the surface of a spherical cavity imbedded in an elasto-plastic medium governed by a bilinear stress-strain law is considered. The problem is solved by using a certain iterative finite difference scheme which prevents almost all the numerical oscillations which usually occur in the region behind the discontinuity at the elastic-plastic boundary, when a standard finite difference scheme is applied.
