Abstract:
A model of the dilatancy's zones in the stress field of the double forces in a homogeneous,
isotropic elastic half-space was considered. Calculations of the stress tensor components
and the criterion of dilatancy were perfomed. Relative defomations of Earth crust were
interconnected with zone of dilatancy.
Keywords:stress field, dilatancy, the problem of Mindlin, deformation of Earth crust.
