ON THE DYNAMICAL PROBLEMS OF THE ELASTIC BODY WITH INITIAL (RESIDUAL) STRESSES

Abstract

In the present paper the review of the recent investigations regarding the dynamical problems of the bodies with initial stresses are considered. In this case the investigations carried out in the recent six years within the framework of the piecewise homogeneous bodies model with the use of the Three-dimensional Linearized Theory of the Elastic Waves in Initially Stressed Bodies are considered and the main attention is focused on the studies made by the author and his students. The researches on the wave propagation and on the dynamical time-harmonic stress-state problems are reviewed separately. The areas of the further investigations are presented.
