Mathematical models and numerical methods for stability analysis of materials subjected to radiation pulses

We consider problems in modeling the interaction between a solid body and radiation pulses having intensity of order 10⁹–10¹⁵ W/m². We construct one-dimensional mathematical models for radiative damage to materials on the basis of the theory of thermal erosion and the kinetic theory of stability.Translated from Vychislitel'naya i Prikladnaya Matematika, No. 70, pp. 67–73, 1990.
