References on wave solutions in continuum mechanics [closed]
I am interested in literature on known wave solutions in continnum mechanics, precisely the following mechanical equation:
$$\rho\partial_t^2u_i = C_{ijkl}\nabla_j\nabla_ku_{l}$$
My interest is spread ...

Can a wave propagate in an elastic fluid in the absence of volume forces?
A motion (wave) $\mathbf{x}: \mathcal{B}_0 \times [t_0,t_1] \to \mathcal{E}:$ such that
$q-o = \mathbf{x}(p,t)=(p-o)+\mathbf{a}_0 cos(\mathbf{k}_0\cdot(p-o) - \omega_0 t)$
can propagate in an elastic ...
