Abstract.

We consider a p-system of conservation laws that emerges in one dimensional elasticity theory. Such system is determined by a function W. We consider four forms of W. These are St.Venant-Kirchhoff, Ogden, Kirchhoff modified, Blatz-Ko-Ogden forms. In each of those cases we determine the conditions for the parameters µ, λ and f, under which the corresponding system is hyperbolic and genuinely nonlinear. We also establish what it means a weak solution of an initial and boundary value problem. Finally we ask if such solutions satisfy the entropy condition. For a standard entropy function we provide a complete answer, except of the Blatz-Ko-Ogden case. For a general strictly convex entropy function the result is that for the initial value of velocity fun

Resumen.

Consideramos un p-sistema de leyes de conservación que surge de la teoría de elasticidad unidimensional. Tal sistema es determinado por una función W. Consideramos cuatro formas de W. Estas son los modelos de St. Venant-Kirchhoff, Ogden, Kirchhoff modificado y Blatz-Ko-Ogden. En cada uno de estos casos determinamos las condiciones de los parámetros µ, λ y f bajo las cuales el correspondiente sistema es hiperbólico y genuinamente no lineal. Establecemos qué significa una solución débil de un problema de valor inicial y de frontera. Finalmente nos preguntamos si tales soluciones satisfacen la condición de entropía. Para una función de entropía estándar damos una respuesta completa, excepto del caso de Blatz-Ko-Ogden. Para una función de entropía general estrictamente convexa, el resultado es que para el valor inicial de la función velocidad cerca de cero estas soluciones satisfacen la condición de entropía, bajo la restricción de hiperbolicidad y no linealidad genuina.

Palabras clave: Solución débil; condición de entropía; leyes de conservación; genuinamente no lineal; p-sistema
