Uniform Decay for Ruggeri's Relaxed Navier-Stokes-Fourier Equations

Heinrich Freistühler, Yizhou Zhou

This work studies the linearization of Ruggeri's classical symmetric hyperbolic model of viscous, heat-conductive fluids about a homogeneous equilibrium. In three space dimensions,…

Dynamical stability of planar phase boundaries for hyperelastic materials of Hadamard type

Heinrich Freistühler, Lauro Morales, Ramón G. Plaza +1

The dynamical stability of laminates or planar phase boundaries for hyperelastic materials of Hadamard type in two space dimensions is studied. For that purpose, the stability func…

Linear Degeneracy in a Class of Nonlinear Second-Order Hyperbolic Systems

Heinrich Freistuhler

For a class of nonlinear hyperbolic systems of second order the paper shows that all Lax modes associated with their first-order formulations are linearly degenerate. This property…
