Multiplication of distributions and a nonlinear model in elastodynamics

C. O. R. Sarrico

Vol. 294 (2018), No. 1, 195–212
Abstract

We consider the system ut + (u22)x = σx,σt + uσx = k2ux, where k is a real number and the unknowns u(x,t) and σ(x,t) belong to convenient spaces of distributions. For this simplified model from elastodynamics, a rigorous solution concept defined in the setting of a distributional product is used. The explicit solution of a Riemann problem and the possible emergence of a δ shock wave are established. For initial conditions containing a Dirac measure, a δ shock wave solution is also presented.
