We consider shear wave propagation in soft viscoelastic solids of rate type. Based on objective stress rates, the constitutive model accounts for finite strain, incompressibility, as well as stress- and strain-rate viscoelasticity. The…
The evolution of the interface separating a conduit of light, viscous fluid rising buoyantly through a heavy, more viscous, exterior fluid at small Reynolds numbers is governed by the interplay between nonlinearity and dispersion. Previous…
This survey concerns a causal elastic wave equation which implies frequency power-law attenuation. The wave equation can be derived from a fractional Zener stress-strain relation plus linearized conservation of mass and momentum. A…
In 1,2 or 3 dimensions a scalar wave excited by a non-negative source in a viscoelastic medium with a non-negative relaxation spectrum or a Newtonian response or both combined inherits the sign of the source. The key assumption is a…

In this paper, we investigate the direct and indirect stability of locally coupled wave equations with local viscous damping on cylindrical and non-regular domains without any geometric control condition. If only one equation is damped, we…
We study the causality and stability of relativistic hydrodynamics with the inclusion of the spin degree of freedom as a hydrodynamic field. We consider two specific models of spin-hydrodynamics for this purpose. A linear mode analysis for…
A new class of solitary waves arises in the solution of nonlinear wave equations with constant impedance and no dispersive terms. They depend on a balance between nonlinearity and a dispersion-like effect due to spatial variation in the…
In order to model nonlinear viscous dissipative motions in solids, acoustical physicists usually add terms linear in dot{E}, the material time derivative of the Lagrangian strain tensor E, to the elastic stress tensor sigma derived from the…
Kinetic equations are often appropriate to model the energy density of high frequency waves propagating in highly heterogeneous media. The limitations of the kinetic model are quantified by the statistical instability of the wave energy…
Cosmological perturbations of sufficiently long wavelength admit a fluid dynamic description. We consider modes with wavevectors below a scale $k_m$ for which the dynamics is only mildly non-linear. The leading effect of modes above that…

A broad class of nonlinear acoustic wave models possess a Hamiltonian structure in their dissipation-free limit and a gradient flow structure for their dissipative dynamics. This structure may be exploited to design numerical methods which…

The dynamics of many natural systems is dominated by non-linear waves propagating through the medium. We show that the dynamics of non-linear wave fronts with positive surface tension can be formulated as a gradient system. The variational…
In this paper, we are interested in studying the modulational dynamics of interfacial waves rising buoyantly along a conduit of a viscous liquid. Formally, the behavior of modulated periodic waves on large space and time scales may be…
This paper explores the exponential stability of two nonlinear wave equations coupled through their velocities. The analysis is divided into two main cases. First, we consider a system where one equation is damped, while the other…
The theory of slow manifolds is an important tool in the study of deterministic dynamical systems, giving a practical method by which to reduce the number of relevant degrees of freedom in a model, thereby often resulting in a considerable…
In this paper we discuss mechanical systems with inequality constraints. We demonstrate how such constraints can be taken into account by proper modification of the action which describes the original unconstrained dynamics. To illustrate…
