Division of Applied Mathematics, Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island 02912, USA THE VISCOELASTIC WAVE PRODUCED BY RETRACTION OF A STRETCHED REGION [Elektronische Daten] [A. C. PIPKIN] A relatively short segment at one end of a stretched string of viscoelastic material is stretched by an additional amount and then released. A loading wave propagates into the less-stretched region, followed by an unloading wave reflected from the end of the string. The problem is analysed by using linear viscoelasticity theory, specialized to the case of a power-law modulus. The results differ from Kolsky's tensile-shock observations, which seem to show a very high speed for the unloading wave. A possible reason for the discrepancy is suggested. © Oxford University Press Articles nationallicence The Quarterly Journal of Mechanics and Applied Mathematics Oxford University Press 48/1(1995-02), 123-134 0033-5614 48:1<123 1995 48 qjmamj https://doi.org/10.1093/qjmam/48.1.123 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1093/qjmam/48.1.123 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 100 1- PIPKIN A.
