A new type of surface acoustic waves in solids due to nonlinear elasticity
TLDR
In this paper, it was shown that in a nonlinear elastic semi-infinite medium possessing the property of self-focusing of shear waves, besides bulk nonlinear shear wave, new surface acoustic waves exist, localization of which near the boundary is entirely due to nonlinear effects.About:

Some New Ideas in the Theory of Surface Acoustic Waves in Anisotropic Media
TL;DR: In this article, four different problems related to the theory of surface acoustic waves in crystals are investigated. The first three are solved exactly and the last one is solved by a perturbation method.

Nonlinear bulk and surface shear acoustic waves in materials with hysteresis and end-point memory
TL;DR: In this paper, it is demonstrated that odd harmonic generation and hysteresis absorption lead to the transformation of a monochromatic signal into a sawtooth-shaped wave.

Physical and Mathematical Models of Nonlinear Waves in Solids
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduced a continuum and discrete (lattice) models of solids such as in elasticity and anelasticity with special attention paid to nonlinearity and dispersion, and extended these models to solids with a microstructure of mechanical or electromagnetic origin.

Surface wave at a nonlinear interface.
TL;DR: It is shown that an interface between two dielectric media, where the lower-refractive-index material has a positive optical Kerr coefficient, can support a two-dimensional optical surface wave that propagates along the interface with a constant shape and intensity.

Exact theory of nonlinear p-polarized optical waves.
TL;DR: It is found that the variation of the power flow along the guiding surface with effective index, for negative linear dielectrics, will always exhibit a maximum and this maximum may be reached for fairly modest nonlinear changes in the refractive index.

s-Polarized nonlinear surface polaritons
TL;DR: In this article, an exact solution of Maxwell's equations is found, corresponding to ans-polarized nonlinear surface polarition, at the planar interface between two dielectric media, one of which is optically unaxial and is characterized by a diagonal tensor whose elements depend on the amplitude of the electric field according to e11=e22=e0(ω)+a(ω) (|E1|2+|E2|2), e33=e(ω).
