Abstract
This paper considers an ideal nonthermal elastic medium described by a stored-energy function W. It studies time-dependent configurations with subsonically moving phase boundaries across which, in addition to the jump relations (of Rankine–Hugoniot type) expressing conservation, some kinetic rule g acts as a two-sided boundary condition. The paper establishes a concise version of a normal-modes determinant that characterizes the local-in-time linear and nonlinear (in)stability of such patterns. Specific attention is given to the case where W has two local minimizers UA,UB which can coexist via a static planar phase boundary. Being dynamic perturbations of such interesting configurations, this paper shows that the stability behaviour of corresponding almost-static phase boundaries is uniformly controlled by an explicit expression that can be determined from derivatives of W and g at UA and UB.
