instability

The processes of consolidation, deconsolidation, phase transitions and destructions in the terms of internal structures of the Earth аre studied on the base of non-linear theory of deformable solid bodies.  It is shown that the loss of stability of equilibrium state can precede to the processes of deconsolidation, phase transitions and destructions on geometric form change (structural instability).

Two methods of mass calculation of degenerate dwarfs were considered: based on (1) hydrostatic equilibrium equation as well as (2) variational principle. In this work we used model with ideal electron subsystem and one with Coulomb interaction. An instability region of massive white dwarfs was explored. For the first time, taking into account the Coulomb interaction, there were obtained critical values of mass and relativistic parameter at wich instability due to general relativity effects occured.
