Abstract

We show how the partial differential equations governing elasticity can be written in fully conservative, first-order, Eulerian form. This permits investigation of wave solutions of the equations of elasticity by a combination of mathematical analysis and high-quality numerical methods based on Riemann solutions of the governing equations.
