Finite-amplitude inhomogeneous plane waves of exponential type in incompressible elastic materials

Soft Condensed Matter 2013-06-04 v1 Materials Science

Abstract

It is proved that elliptically-polarized finite-amplitude inhomogeneous plane waves may not propagate in an isotropic elastic material subject to the constraint of incompressibility. The waves considered are harmonic in time and exponentially attenuated in a direction distinct from the direction of propagation. The result holds whether the material is stress-free or homogeneously deformed.
