Abstract

The theoretical investigation of the interaction of elastic planar harmonic waves in a material whose nonlinear properties are described by the Murnaghan elastic potential is presented. A review of the methods for analytical study of the wave process is provided. The methodology for studying transverse and longitudinal waves is described. Using the perturbation method for transverse waves, results are presented for the simultaneous propagation of two types of waves: vertically and horizontally polarized. The corresponding equations are written, and the distortion of the respective wave profiles is analyzed. It has been established that because of the nonlinear wave interaction, the transverse waves gradually transform into their third harmonics. With different initial intensities of waves of different polarization, energy is transferred from the powerful wave to the weaker wave. Numerical studies were conducted using values of effective constants for a range of nanocomposite materials. For longitudinal waves, the simultaneous propagation of waves with separate consideration of quadratic and cubic nonlinearity was investigated. Various cases of harmonic wave interaction were studied based on cubic equations of motion. The method of slowly varying amplitudes was sequentially used. The obtained equations, the first integrals of these equations, and the conservation law for four interacting waves are analyzed. Truncated and full evolutionary equations were obtained, and the Manley-Rowe relations were recorded. This research method assumes weak variability of the amplitudes and phases of waves over one period of the oscillatory process. The field of application of such wave research includes several problems in nonlinear optics and plasma physics. Considering cubic nonlinearity is also necessary for the study of internal and surface waves in a fluid. Similarly to how wave triplets can form in quadratically nonlinear media through three-wave interaction, four-wave interaction occurs in cubically nonlinear media, with the formation of wave quadruplets under certain conditions.
