Synopsis

We consider the equations for the isothermal motion of a one-dimensional unbounded body composed of a material with viscosity and capillarity. Using a technique derived from the theory of compensated compactness, we find conditions which guarantee that, as viscosity and capillarity approach zero, the solutions to these equations converge to a solution to the corresponding equations in elasticity.
