Abstract
The author examines the propagation of longitudinal waves in a semi-infinite rod whose material possesses elasticoviscous-plasticoviscous properties. Time conditions are introduced to take flow retardation into account, together with a hypothesis concerning the rate influence function. The Laplace transform method is used to obtain a solution close to the wave front; the solution for the plasticoviscous stage is obtained by a graphoanalytical method.
