On nonlinear oscillations of a thin bar (Q1910924)

Based on one of the simplest mathematical models of a solid, nonlinear interactions between waves in a rectilinear bar are investigated, in order to reveal and display a number of dynamic properties inherent not only to the bar, but also to most weakly nonlinear mechanical systems with internal resonances. The paper investigates the evolution of waves in the bar with the aim to classify the elementary type of wave triplet resonant interactions and define their existence and coexistence areas.
