Abstract
Dynamics and quasi-statics of heterogeneous systems with sharp interfaces are analyzed. We dwell on two particular problems: dynamics of two-layered liquid incompressible planets with phase interfaces and failure fronts in brittle solids. In the former, the dynamics of the interfaces is controlled by the equality or jump in the scalar chemical potential. Similarly, in the latter example, it is controlled by the asymmetric tensorial chemical potential. We made several simplifying assumptions to reduce the system of partial differential equations to the systems of ordinary differential equations. We briefly touch on still existing obstacles.
