Abstract
A study was performed on the model of an elastic manifold driven through a random medium by an applied force. The effects of inertia and elastic waves, in particular, stress overshoots were studied. It was found that these stress overshoots decrease the critical force for depinning and make the depinning transition hysteretic with static and pinned configurations coexisting with the steadily moving phase for a range of applied force.
