On the wave propagation property in finite elasticity
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 November 2011
Synopsis
By using a mild hypothesis on the acoustic tensor, it is shown that the disturbances in a nonlinear elastic body travel with a finite speed. Moreover, a uniqueness theorem for the displacement problem of nonlinear elastodynamics is proved. No assumption is made on the extension of the body.
