Wave processes in elastic-viscoplastic media with dislocations

The mechanisms of plane harmonic wave propagation in homogeneous and interfaced elastic-viscoplastic media are considered using the field theory of defects with kinematic identities of a dislocation-containing elastic continuum and dynamic equations of the gauge theory of dislocations. The reflection and refraction coefficients were determined for displacement waves and defect field waves with the defect field characterized by the dislocation density tensor and flux density tensor. The dependence of the coefficients on the parameters of the interfaced media is analyzed.
