Abstract

Multiparameter dimensional groups of transformations are applied to a system of quasilinear hyperbolic partial differential equations along with their auxiliary conditions. It is shown that for such a class of problems the similarity characteristic relationship can be stated and the location of the wavefront in terms of similarity variable can be determined. Two theorems are stated and their proofs given. Furthermore, it is shown that similarity transformation is one-to-one and onto. Similarity analysis of two problems, arising in wave propagation in nonlinear-nonhomogeneous rods, is presented in the light of theory presented in the paper.
