Our study aimed at investigating the origin and development of ‘slow’ movements in a solid body/medium under loading and studying the role of such movements in the occurrence of critical states, i.e. sources of destruction in a stable solid medium. Computerized modeling was conducted to simulate the evolution of the stress-strain state and the formation of slow deformation waves in a loaded medium. We have developed and justified a mathematical model of the loaded elastoplastic medium, which dem
