This research program investigates the competition                         between dissipative mechanisms such as frictions and the                        destabilizing action of nonlinearity of the material response.                  The corresponding nonlinear evolution (partial differential)                    equations exhibit both hyperbolic and parabolic characters.                     Their analysis for the qualitative behavior of the physical                     system poses new and difficult mathematical problems.                                                                                                                Specific results from the research program are expected to                 provide insight to physical problems such as shear band                         formation for strain-rate dependent materials and the motion of                 viscoelastic materials with fading memory.
