Abstract
The propagation of unloading shock waves in an elastic-plastic and strain hardening medium is studied on the basis of the deformation theory of plasticity and the method of characteristics. The load is applied suddenly at the surface of the spherical cavity. The effect of hardening on the decay of the shock strength of principal shearing strains, on the residual strains and the radial normal stresses is shown. A single parameter Gp/G is defined for the quantitative specification of the plastic and linear strain hardening characteristics of the medium.
