Interfacial and surface waves in pre-strained isotropic elastic media

  • P. Chadwick
Chapter

Abstract

This paper is a pendant to studies by Chadwick and Jarvis [5, 6, 7] and Dowaikh and Ogden [8, 9] of interfacial- and surface-wave propagation in pre-strained elastic media. It has a two-fold purpose: to extend the theory of interfacial waves to a class of compressible isotropic elastic solids (the restricted Hadamard materials), and to introduce a simple and versatile procedure for investigating the existence and uniqueness of solutions.
