Abstract

General form nonlinear governing equations for the wave traveling in a nonlinear elastic structural element of large deflection are derived in the present research. An asymptotic solution of solitary wave in the elastic element is derived and investigated by means of a modified complete approximate method. Numerical computations for the solution are carried out. Characteristics of the solitary wave are investigated with various system parameters and initial conditions. Shapes and the propagation of the nonlinear elastic wave are also illustrated with figures. Based on the theoretical and numerical analyses of the research, quantitative conclusions are obtained for the wave motion of the elastic structural element.
