“…Simple analytical expressions have been obtained using simple elastic potentials to calculate the pressure and propagation velocities of elastic pressure and shear waves in deformable isotropic media for small and large deformations (Kuliev & Jabbarov, ; Kuliev & Jabbarov, ; Guliyev, , , ). For example, the following nonlinear acoustoelastic correlations have been obtained to determine real velocities of elastic wave propagation in nonlinearly deformed isotropic media within the theory of large initial deformations: …”
