Abstract

The dispersive effects due to the presence of microstructure in solids are studied. The basic mathematical model is derived following Mindlin's theory. In the one-dimensional case the governing equations of a linear system are presented. An approximation using the slaving principle indicates a hierarchy of waves. The corresponding dispersion relations are compared with each other. The choice between the models can be made on the basis of physical effects described by dispersion relations.
