Wave propagation in elastic rods with multiple wave speeds
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 October 2008
Abstract
This paper deals with the propagation and decay of nth-order displacement waves in linear hyperelastic rods having multiple wave speeds. The vector decay equation is integrated to find the explicit behaviour of all waves which can propagate in the rod. Examples are treated using a special form of the constitutive relations and results are given for rods of various geometries and wave multiplicities.
