Shear waves in a class of nonlinear viscoelastic solids Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • We investigate the propagation of shear waves in a special class of nonlinear viscoelastic solids of differential type. We determine several useful exact solutions for such models for initial data with compact and non-compact support. Moreover, we find some explicit examples of blow-up for boundary-value problems with smooth initial data.
