Spherical waves in a simple locking medium

Abstract

The mechanical behavior of some types of soils can be idealized by that of a "Locking Solid." This paper investigates the spherical shock wave and the stress distribution behind the wave in a simple locking solid due to a sudden explosion at the surface of a small spherical cavity. The cases of infinitesimal and finite deformations are considered. The effect of an elastic shear resistance and the consequent phenomenon of "unlocking" are also studied.
