Shielding of elastic nonstationary waves by interfaces

  • Published:
International Applied Mechanics Aims and scope

The ray method is used to solve the problem of the propagation of discontinuous (weak shock) waves in inhomogeneous elastic media. A procedure for drawing the fronts of reflected and refracted waves at interfaces and calculating their intensities is proposed. The effect of shielding discontinuous waves by one or two interfaces is studied. The cases of slipping and non-slipping contact are examined
