Notes

  1. 1.

    Care is required when we are talking of \((\xi , t)\)-plane, which is the same as (x, y)-plane and not to be confused with 3-D (x, y, t)-space.

  2. 2.

    Derivation is simple. In the jump relations, we collect all terms containing \(\theta _\ell \) on the left-hand side and those containing \(\theta _r\) on the right-hand side. Then, we square and add the two jump relations to get (8.39).

  3. 3.

    Derivation requires multiplying the first jump relation in (8.36) by \(\cos \theta _\ell \), the second by \(\sin \theta _\ell \) and adding. Then we get \(Sg_r \sin (\theta _\ell -\theta _r) +m_r \cos (\theta _\ell -\theta _r) - m_\ell = 0\), in which we use (8.38) to get (8.40).

  4. 4.

    Neglecting the image of a contact discontinuity which have been removed by a proper choice of \(\xi \).
