โฆ Synopsis
This paper deals with nonlinear wave propagation in hyperelastic membranes from the point of view of wave front analysis. Conditions are formulated under which all three wave types which can propagate sweep out the same system of wave fronts on the membrane. Particular emphasis is placed on the situation arising when the membrane material is homogeneous, uni-directional homogeneous, and homogeneous-isotropic. The general form of the growth-decay equation governing the amplitude of acceleration waves is derived and discussed.

The problem of wave propagation in linear elastic membranes is treated using the method of Hadamard. Speeds of propagation, wave shape and decay, as well as coupling effects, are obtained for longitudinal and transverse waves. Examples are considered which illustrate the features of the theory. ##
