Abstract
A method is proposed aimed for determination of the third-order elastic moduli (Murnaghan moduli) based on the estimation of measured parameters of bulk strain solitons in the three main waveguide configurations, a rod, a plate, and a shell. Formulas connecting the third-order moduli of the waveguide material and the parameters of a solitary strain wave (amplitude, velocity, full width at half-maximum) are derived. If the soliton parameters measured in three waveguide types manufactured from the same material are available, determination of the third-order elastic moduli is reduced to the solution of a system of three algebraic equations with a nondegenerate matrix.
