Abstract
The reflection of stress waves from the conical end of a rod which is placed against a “rigid” wall is investigated. The reflection takes place at the lateral surface of the cone and at the cone-“rigid” wall boundary at low stress amplitudes. When the sum of the amplitudes of the amplified incident and reflected pulses reach the elastic limit near the cone-“rigid” wall boundary, a part of the pulse is reflected at the resulting elasto-plastic boundary.
