Abstract
In Chap. 3 we discussed propagation of plane longitudinal shocks, a specific aspect of nonlinear wave propagation. In Chap. 8, we discussed more general waveforms, but in the approximation of small (infinitesimal) deformation that reduced the problem to one of solving a linear equation. Now we consider smooth uniaxial motions in a more general case in which the equation to be solved is not linear. We shall not be able to obtain results as complete and detailed as in the foregoing cases, but much can be learned.
