This article studies a Riemann problem for the so-called “p-system”utvx=0, vt[σ(u)]x=0, which rules one-dimensional isentropic thermoelastic media. Such study is made using a product of distributions that allows us to extend both the classical solution concept and a weak solution concept. By considering σ as an entire function that takes real values on the real axis, this product also extends for certain distributions u the meaning of σ(u). Under certain conditions, this Riemann problem has solutions that are δ-shock waves. Furthermore, those δ-shock waves satisfy the so-called generalized Rankine–Hugoniot conditions.
