Abstract
We study the viscoelastic second grade solid, for which the constitutive equation consists in the sum of a purely elastic part and a viscoelastic part; this latter part is specified by two microstructural coefficients α1 and α2, in addition to the usual Newtonian viscosity ν. We show via some exact solutions that such solids may describe some interesting dispersive effects. The solutions under investigation belong to special classes of standing waves and of circularly-polarized finite-amplitude waves.
