The features of propagation of quasi-harmonic waves in nonlinear elastic Euler-Bernoulli and Timoshenko rods are studied. It is shown that bending waves in Euler-Bernoulli rod are stable by means of self-modulation, while in Timoshenko rod there exist domains of modulation instability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
