On Maximally Dissipative Shock Waves in Nonlinear Elasticity
Knowles, James K.;
- Publisher: Springer
Shock waves in nonlinearly elastic solids are, in general, dissipative. We study the following question: among all plane shock waves that can propagate with a given speed in a given one-dimensional nonlinearly elastic bar, which one—if any—maximizes the rate of dissipat... View more
