Ts. Oncu et Tb. Moodie, ASYMPTOTIC ANALYSIS OF A HYPERBOLIC MIXED PROBLEM IN ONE-DIMENSIONAL VISCOELASTICITY, Studies in applied mathematics, 90(2), 1993, pp. 91-117
We present an asymptotic analysis of the boundary-generated, small-amp
litude, high-frequency waves in a one-dimensional, semi-infinite, visc
oelastic solid characterized by a single-integral constitutive functio
nal. The equations governing the wave motion constitute a 2x2 system o
f hyperbolic Volterra integrodifferential equations. The method of ana
lysis is based on a single-wave expansion of nonlinear geometric optic
