✦ Synopsis

Standard techniques of continuum mechanics are used to describe the flow of certain microscopic excitations which are believed to give rise to the second-sound phenomena in some materials at low temperatures. Appropriate balance laws are formulated, and constitutive equations for an elastic solid are postulated. The propagation of small-amplitude second-sound waves is discussed and the results compared with those predicted by the theory of Lord and Shulman .

We present a modified wave equation for second-sound propagation in an inhomogeneous medium. For extreme inhomogeneity we show that a new mode exists at low frequency, in which normal wavelike propagation is not possible. The nature of this mode is discussed.
