Abstract
It is shown by an example that unsteady shearing motions can give rise to vortex sheets in a special class of viscoelastic liquids only. Further, the congruence between the quantitative predictions of an initial-boundary value problem, namely the Reyleigh problem, and the theory of propagation of singular surfaces is demonstrated.
