A self-similar wave problem in a Prandtl-Reuss elastoplastic medium

详细

We consider a self-similar piston problem in which stresses on the boundary of a half-space are changed instantaneously. The half-space is filled with a Prandtl–Reuss medium in a uniform stressed state. It is assumed that the formation of shock waves is possible in the medium. We prove the existence of a solution to the problem in the cases when two or all three stress components are changed at the initial moment.
