Findings

Wave laws characteristic of switching phenomena are illustrated.

Finite deformation affects the threshold for elastic wave generation.

Dynamic interphase structure influences martensitic crystal growth.

Abstract

A number of laws being characteristic for switching waves are illustrated by the examples of waves of a falling dominoes. The specificity of a switching wave at the martensite crystal growth caused by dynamic structure of interphase area is noted. For the first time the influence of finite deformation on the condition of elastic waves generation by non-equilibrium electrons is discussed. The rigid regime of initial excitation of waves is connected with the influence of finite deformations on the threshold value of an inverse population difference of the electronic states.
