Abstract:
For a nonlinear dispersion-dissipation Sobolev-type partial differential equation modeling the propagation of longitudinal strain waves in a nonlinear elastic rod, the Cauchy problem is studied in the space of continuous functions defined on the entire real axis and having limits at infinity. Some conditions ensuring existence of a global solution and blow-up of a solution to the Cauchy problem on a finite time interval are exposed.
Keywords:longitudinal strain waves in a nonlinear elastic rod, nonlinear Sobolev-type equation, global solution, blow-up of a solution.
