Abstract
We study shear waves propagating in a special viscoelastic model proposed first by
Fosdick and Yu in 1996. We deduce an asymptotic approximation which reduces
the full balance equations to a system of evolution equations which are a vectorial
generalization of the Modified KDV-Burger equation. In such a way we show that
the model takes into account not only dissipative effects but also dispersive effects.
