title: Propagation of localized longitudinal strain waves in a plate in the presence of cubic nonlinearity.
abstract: Possible propagating longitudinal strain solitary waves in a plate are shown to be seriously altered when physical cubic nonlinearity is taken into account in the modeling. This also affects an amplification of the wave due to the transverse instability of plane-localized waves and due to the plane-wave interaction.
