One of the possible mechanisms that may underlie ultrasound-induced damage of soft solids is discussed. The model of three-wave interaction in a solid is used to consider shear wave generation by a longitudinal sound wave in a solid with a small shear modulus. Numerical estimates are obtained for the excitation threshold of the shear wave in biological tissues. Since the wavelength of ultrasound-generated shear waves is small, the shear stresses may be sufficient to destroy the structure of biological tissue. Results of model experiments are presented.
