AbstractThis paper is concerned with a particular class of acceleration waves in heat-conducting elastic materials, namely those waves for which the acceleration amplitude is a proper vector of both the isothermal and isentropic acoustical tensors. Acceleration waves with this characteristic property are found to fall naturally into two distinct sub-classes, and close parallels are shown to exist between the members of the sub-classes and waves for which the acceleration amplitude is either longitudinal or transverse to the direction of propagation. Particular attention is given here to waves of the quasi-longitudinal type, the quasi-transverse variety having been studied in some detail elsewhere.
