Four systems of one-dimensional waves reduced from the plane-strain eq
uations of motion of the neo-Hookean material are studied. It is found
that these systems can be decoupled into linear equations. Analytical
solutions of these systems are obtained using the method of character
istics and the method of eigenfunction expansions. (C) 1997 Elsevier S
