The stability of a metastable shock wave in a viscoelastic medium under two-dimensional perturbations

The unsteady motions of a viscoelastic medium are considered, taking account of a small anisotropy and a small non-linearity. The behaviour of a metastable, quasi-transverse shock wave when it interacts with non-one-dimensional perturbations is investigated numerically. The stability of this wave un...

Summary:The unsteady motions of a viscoelastic medium are considered, taking account of a small anisotropy and a small non-linearity. The behaviour of a metastable, quasi-transverse shock wave when it interacts with non-one-dimensional perturbations is investigated numerically. The stability of this wave under non-one-dimensional perturbations of large amplitude is demonstrated.
