Summary

The jump conditions for mass, momentum and energy across a propagating singularity surface are derived for a theory of mixtures developed for application to bonded composite materials. The jump conditions provide equations necessary for the study of shock and acceleration waves, and are also used to deduce the boundary conditions for the theory.

Zusammenfassung

Die Sprungbedingungen für Masse, Impuls und Energie an einer sich ausbreitenden Singularitätenfläche einer, zur Anwendung auf Verbundwerkstoffen entwickelten Theorie von Gemischen werden abgeleitet. Die Sprungbedingungen liefern zur Untersuchung von Stoß und Beschleunigungswellen benötigte Gleichungen, und sie werden zur Herleitung der Randbedingungen verwendet.
