Abstract
The transient stress waves in an infinite viscoelastic slab subjected to plane strain are investigated. The solution based upon displacements which satisfy directly the equations of motion for a Voigt solid and the initial and boundary conditions is given by the method using Stokes theorem for the case of arbitrary shock loads. The shock loads are assumed to be applied on the face or in the interior of the slab. The displacements are represented in terms of Fourier transforms and eigenfunctions. The eigenfunctions are derived from the equations of motion for an elastic solid and satisfy the orthogonality relation induced by the corresponding boundary conditions.
