Although the theory behind solitary waves of strain shows that they
hold significant promise in nondestructive testing and a variety of
other applications, an enigma has long persisted-the absence of
observable elastic solitary waves in practice. Inspired by this
apparent contradiction, Strain Solitons in Solids and How to
Construct Them refines the existing theory, explores how to
construct a powerful deformation pulse in a waveguide without
plastic flow or fracture, and proposes a direct method of strain
soliton generation, detection, and observation. The author focuses
on the theory, simulation, generation, and propagation of strain
solitary waves in a nonlinearly elastic, straight cylindrical rod
under finite deformations. He introduces the general theory of wave
propagation in nonlinearly elastic solids and shows, from first
principles, how its main ideas can lead to successful experiments.
In doing so, he develops a new approach to solving the
corresponding doubly dispersive equation (DDE) with dissipative
terms, leading to new explicit and exact solutions. He also shows
that the method is applicable to a variety of nonlinear problems.
First discovered in virtual reality, nonlinear waves and solitons
in solids are finally moving into the genuine reality of physics,
mechanics, and engineering. Strain Solitons in Solids and How to
Construct Them shows how to balance the mathematics of the problem
with the application of the results to experiments and ultimately
to generating and observing solitons in solids.
