Abstract

A detailed study is presented of cylindrical shear waves in inhomogeneous Maxwellian viscoelastic materials whose parameters depend continuously on a single radial coordinate. A formal asymptotic technique is employed to investigate various impact problems. Rigorous arguments are then used to show that the formal technique gives results that are asymptotic to the exact solution even when boundaries or interfaces are present. Simple termination in the Karal-Keller series is shown to be associated with the Baecklund transformation method.
