We introduce a model for nonlinear viscoelastic solids, for which travelling shear waves with compact support are possible. Using analytical and numerical methods, we investigate the general case of this model, and an exact, kink-type travelling-wave solution is obtained as a special case result. Additionally, we derive and examine a new Burgers' type evolution equation based on the introduced constitutive equations.

Using the Lie symmetry approach, the nonlinear partial differential equation is transformed into a nonlinear ordinary differential equation and the -expansion method is applied to find explicitly new travelling wave solutions.
