Abstract
An approach is developed to generate exact solutions to a hyperbolic m odel describing a class of rate-type materials. The leading idea of th e analysis which is carried on herein is to require the model in point to be consistent with a pair of additional equations defining Riemann invariants-like quantities along the characteristic curves. Hence cla sses of model constitutive laws allowing a reduction procedure to hold are characterized.
