The evolution of a longitudinal-strain solitary wave (a soliton) is studied theoretically and in experiments in a nonlinearly elastic tapered rod. Amplification (focusing) of the soliton is predicted and observed in the rod with decreasing cross section. An asymmetric soliton deformation when focused is observed. An approach is developed to obtain analytical relationships between longitudinal and shear nonlinear strains, and an asymptotic solution to the problem is found, accurately satisfying the boundary conditions on the lateral rod's surface. The explicit relationship is obtained for the soliton amplitude dependence upon the cross section radius' variations of the nonlinearly elastic rod. An allowed interval of soliton velocities is shown to exist that is dependent on elasticity. It was proved in experiments that the elastic strain soliton is not absorbed even at distances much greater than the typical linear dissipation length for linear waves in polystyrene.read more

Splitting induced generation of soliton trains in layered waveguides
TL;DR: In this article, the splitting induced generation of a soliton train from a single incident strain soliton in two-and three-layered elastic waveguides was reported, based on a weakly nonlinear solution for the doubly dispersive (Boussinesq type) equation with piecewise constant coefficients for the waveguide made of a piecewise isotropic nonlinearly elastic material.
