In this paper we study the lifespan of solutions to nonlinear wave equations in elasticity with small initial data. Main step of our argument is to construct a good approximate solution. A natural choice of the approximation seems to be the leading term of solutions to the free elastic wave equation. However, it does not satisfy the nonlinear elastic wave equation in a suitable sense. For this reason, we modify the approximation by adding a higher-order term. Then, we are able to obtain a lower bound of the lifespan which is expressed in terms of initial data and a coefficient in the nonlinearity.
