Abstract

This paper deals with the propagation and decay of shock and acceleration waves in nonhomogeneous linear thermo-viscoelastic rods. The growth-decay laws governing the propagation of such waves is obtained. These clearly exhibit the effects of nonhomogeneity, viscous damping and thermal damping on wave amplitude. An example is treated which brings into play thermo-mechanical coupling in bending.
