Abstract
It is known that the propagation of infinitesimally small harmonic elastic waves in a bi-modular rod implies the appearance of discontinuities in strain, stress and the propagation velocity. These discontinuities are known as strong shock wave fronts, or simply strong shocks. It is also known that the instantaneous velocity of the strong shocks lies in between fast and slow rod velocities of the bi-modular rod. Now, by applying the Hadamard compatibility equation for singular surfaces, it is revealed that under certain conditions the velocity of a strong shock can be infinite. This result is confirmed numerically using the hyperelastic potential for a bi-modular material and with the finite element model. It is also shown that the existence of extremely fast strong shocks implies a large local heat release.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Non-Linear Mechanics provides a specific medium for dissemination of high-quality research results in the various areas of theoretical, applied, and experimental mechanics of solids, fluids, structures, and systems where the phenomena are inherently non-linear.
The journal brings together original results in non-linear problems in elasticity, plasticity, dynamics, vibrations, wave-propagation, rheology, fluid-structure interaction systems, stability, biomechanics, micro- and nano-structures, materials, metamaterials, and in other diverse areas.
Papers may be analytical, computational or experimental in nature. Treatments of non-linear differential equations wherein solutions and properties of solutions are emphasized but physical aspects are not adequately relevant, will not be considered for possible publication. Both deterministic and stochastic approaches are fostered. Contributions pertaining to both established and emerging fields are encouraged.
