Abstract

Using a semi-inverse method proposed by Wright [1] a normal reflection and transmission of a finite elastic plane shock wave, at a plane interface of two rigidly coupled rubber-like elastic solids is examined. It is assumed that the material solids in front of the shock wave are unstrained and at rest. It is found that, depending on the material properties, the reflected wave is either a single simple wave or a shock wave; the transmitted wave is always a shock wave.
