F. Mirzoev et La. Shelepin, Nonlinear strain waves and densities of defects induced in metal plates byexternal energy fluxes, TECH PHYS, 46(8), 2001, pp. 952-955
A model of nonlinear periodic traveling strain waves induced in laser-irrad
iated metal plates with quadratic nonlinearity is proposed. Interaction bet
ween the elastic strain fields and the concentration of point defects is ta
ken into account. The effect of generation-recombination processes on the e
volution of nonlinear localized waves is considered. An equation for the am
plitudes of the nonlinear waves is derived. It is employed to analyze the a
ttenuation of the waves with allowance for low- and high-frequency losses.
