For rigid conductors, a weak wave is represented by a thermal wave which propagates with finite speed. A thermoelastic material admits two families of waves which transport both thermal and mechanical disturbances. In the case of a one-dimensional body, a differential equation is found to describe the evolution of the amplitude of the weak wave. It is shown that the amplitude in both rigid and elastic conductors can blow up in finite time which can lead to the formation of shocks.}, title={Weak discontinuity waves in materials with semi-empirical temperature scale}, type={Text}, URL={http://rcin.org.pl./Content/69952/PDF/WA727_18045_43-4-1991_AMS_Kosinski-06.pdf}, keywords={Mechanika stosowana - czasopisma [KABA]}, }
