Numerical solution of the problem of the effect of a shock pulse on an ice sheet

A mathematical formulation of the problem is given. A method is proposed to determine the initial velocities of points of an ice sheet subjected to a point shock pulse. An example of calculation of ice-sheet deflections is considered. __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika i Tekhnicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 49, No. 2, pp. 152–159, March–April, 2008.
