Shock waves in an elastic medium with cubic anisotropy

Low-intensity shock waves, propagating along the principal diagonal of a cube in an incompressible elastic medium possessing cubic symmetry, are considered. The form of the shock adiabatic in the phase plane of shears is obtained. Sections corresponding to non-decreasing entropy at the discontinuity and the conditions of evolutionarity of the discontinuity on it are indicated. The structure of the shock waves is investigated.
