Abstract
A detailed analysis of the equations of nonlinear elasticity is carried out for a certain class of initial‐boundary value problems. In particular, I examine whether the presence in the differential equation of a mechanical mechanism of dissipation is able to prevent instabilities and ensure global existence in time of the solutions.
