Multiplication of distributions and a nonlinear model in elastodynamics

##### Abstract

We consider the system ${u}_{t}+{\left({u}^{2}∕2\right)}_{x}={\sigma }_{x},{\sigma }_{t}+u{\sigma }_{x}={k}^{2}{u}_{x}$, where $k$ is a real number and the unknowns $u\left(x,t\right)$ and $\sigma \left(x,t\right)$ 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 $\delta$ shock wave are established. For initial conditions containing a Dirac measure, a ${\delta }^{\prime }$ shock wave solution is also presented.
