    In this paper, using the perturbation method we proposed in [A. Marasco, A. Romano, On the ordinary waves in second-order elastic, isotropic, compressible, and homogeneous materials, Math. Comput. Modelling 49 (7-8) (2009) 1504-1518], the first–order terms of the speeds and the amplitude of the principal waves and of the waves in any propagation direction are determined in second–order elastic, isotropic, compressible, and homogeneous materials. Moreover, for the general waves we determine the relations among the second–order constitutive constants which ensure that the waves are longitudinal or transverse

    In this paper, for arbitrary sufficiently small deformations, the propagation of the acceleration waves in isotropic and homogeneous materials is discussed in the contest of second–order elasticity by using a perturbation method. This method allows us to determine the first-order terms of the speeds as well as the amplitudes both of the principal waves and the waves in any arbitrary direction of propagation, when the undisturbed region is subjected to an arbitrary deformation. Finally, some numerical results are presented in some conventional Mooney-Rivlin materials

    In this paper we propose a perturbation method to investigate the propagation of the ordinary waves in second–order elastic, isotropic, incompressible, and homogeneous materials. This method allows us to determine the first–order terms of the speeds and the amplitudes both of the principal waves and the waves in any propagation direction, when the undisturbed region is subjected to an arbitrary isochoric deformation. Another application of this method is presented when the undisturbed region is subjected to a simple shear. Finally, some numerical results are presented in Mooney–Rivlin materials
