Abstract
This paper is concerned with the role of supplementary conditions, such as the entropy inequality at shock waves or kinetic relations at phase boundaries, in the selection of physically appropriate solutions to systems of quasi-linear differential equations describing wave propagation. The differences in this respect among various materials are illustrated by constrasting the behaviour of waves in linear, bilinear and trilinear elastic bars.
