n whch x represents the poston n the current confguraton (spatal poston) In ths work t wll be assumed (lnear elastcty) that the Pola-Krchhoff normal stress σ s a pecewse lnear functon of the stran ε In other words, σ = cε, for X < X < X (3) where cs a postve constant The mass densty ρ wll be assumed constant n X < X < X ρ = ρ = constant, for X < X < X (4) 3 The assocated emann problem and ts generalzed soluton et us consder now the followng ntal data problem (named emann problem) ε = σ ρ = ( ε, v) = ( ε, v ) for X < X ( ε, v) = ( ε, v ) for X > X (5) n whch ε, ε, v and v are known constants The soluton of Eq (5) conssts of connectng the left state ( ε, v) to the rght state ( ε, v) by means of rarefactons (contnuous solutons) and/or shocks (dscontnutes satsfyng the entropy condtons) Two states are connected by a rarefacton f, and only f, between these states, the correspondng egenvalue s an ncreasng functon of the rato ( X X)/ t (Smoller, 983; ax, 97 and John, 974) The egenvalues assocated to the hyperbolc system are gven, n crescent order, by / / / / σ ' c σ ' c λ = = andλ = = for X < X < X ρ ρ ρ ρ (6) So, f we assume that X and that X, the soluton of Eq (5) wll depend only on the rato ( X X )/ t and, snce the egenvalues are constant, the soluton (generalzed) wll be dscontnuous In other words, the left state ( ε, v ) wll be connected to an ntermedate state ( ε, v ) by a dscontnuty (called -shock or back shock) whle the rght state ( ε, v ) wll be connected to ths ntermedate state by another dscontnuty (called -shock or front shock) Snce λ < < λ we have, from the entropy (Keyftz and Kranzer, 978; Callen, 96) condtons that the shock speed s (back shock speed) s always negatve whle s (front shock speed) s always postve The ntermedate state ( ε, v ) s obtaned from the ankne-hugonot jump condtons gven, for ths hyperbolc system, by (Slattery, 97) [ v] [ ε] [ σ] [ ρv] = = s (7) where s denotes the shock speed whle the brackets denote the jump From the equatons represented n Eq (7) we have that v v σ σ = = s ε ε ρ( ) v v v v σ σ = = s ε ε ρ( v ) v (8)
Ths set of equatons gves rse to the followng (generalzed) soluton ε ε for < ( X X)/ t < s ε for ( )/ ε for s < ( X X)/ t < v for < ( X X)/ t < s for ( )/ v for s < ( X X)/ t < = s < X X t < s v = v s < X X t < s (9) where ε v s s v v ε ε = c / ρ v v ε ε = = = c ρ c ρ c / ρ () It s to be notced that the -shock and the -shock are contact dscontnutes, snce s = λ and s = λ So, there s no entropy generaton assocated wth these shocks (ax, 97) Fgure () shows the above soluton n the plane X t Fgure () shows the stran and the velocty as functons of the rato ( X X)/ t Now, let us suppose that X, X = X and X Ths case represents an nfnte rod composed by two homogeneous parts In such a case the soluton wll present a statonary shock at the (reference) poston X The (generalzed) soluton of Eq (5) wll depend only on the rato ( X X)/ t too Nevertheless the -shock (left) and the -shock (rght) speeds have dfferent absolute values Fgure The soluton of the emann problem (Eq (5)) represented n the plane X and X, It s to be notced that s = s t for the case n whch X

of ths new emann problem has always the same structure of Eq (3) and, therefore, enable us to solve Eq (5) for any pecewse ntal data In order to llustrate the soluton procedure, let us suppose a partcular case n whch (nfnte rod composed by three dfferent homogeneous parts) X, X = 7, X =, X3 = 3 and X4 wth c/ ρ = 3 c / ρ and c3/ ρ3 = 3 c / ρ Startng from the ntal data ( ε, v) = ( ε, v ) for X < X ( ε, v) = ( ε, v ) for X > X (5) we have the ntermedate state (, v ) ε (called here ( ε, v )) gven by Eq () At the pont a the front shock (wth speed c / ρ ) reaches the statonary shock placed at X 3 So, a new emann problem, centered at a arses, havng as ts left state ( ε, v) and at ts rght state ( ε, v) For ths emann problem, the ntermedate states ( ε, v ) and ( ε, v ) are gven by Eq (4) epeatng ths procedure, we construct Fg (4) below n whch the soluton s presented n the plane X t Fgure 4 The soluton of the emann problem represented n the plane X X =, X3 = 3 and X4 wth c/ ρ = 3 c / ρ and c3/ ρ3 = 3 c / ρ t for X, X = 7,
