摘要: This paper studies the Riemann problem for a system of nonlinear degenerate wave equations in elasticity. Since the stress function is neither convex nor concave, the shock condition is degenerate. By introducing a degenerate shock under the generalized shock condition, the global solutions are constructively obtained case by case.
