Abstract Standard techniques of continuum mechanics are used to describe the flow of certain microscopic excitations which are believed to give rise to the second-sound phenomena in some materials at low temperatures. Appropriate balance laws are formulated, and constitutive equations for an elastic solid are postulated. The propagation of small-amplitude second-sound waves is discussed and the results compared with those predicted by the theory of Lord and Shulman [1].
