Abstract

The creation and propagation of oscillations in a model for the dynamics of fine structure under viscoelastic damping is studied. It is shown that oscillations in the velocity ut are lost immediately as time evolves, while oscillations in the initial strain ux cannot be created, and they persist for all time if initially present. Uniqueness of generalized solutions (Young measures) is obtained, and a characterization of these Young measures is provided in the case of periodic modulated initial data.
