In this paper we propose a continuum model of a moving transition layer smoothly separating two different solid phases of a certain elastic material continuum and we investigate some necessary conditions to its existence and propagation. An application of this model to the analysis of wave propagation in micro-damaged media with open- and closed-micro cracked phases is shown.
