ABSTRACT
This chapter considers main conclusions and restrictions resulted from theoretical analysis, and, eventually, estimate explicitly all that is necessary to construct long strain solitons in solids and describe real physical experiments in succcessful generation and observation of strain solitons in solids. It deals with analysis of the initial pulse parameters necessary for the solitary wave generation in the one-dimensional problem of waves in a nonlinearly elastic rod and analysis of the experimental setup requirements. Mechanical stress-strain relation analysis was used lately by Wright who applied main ideas of nonlinear elasticity to wave problems in elastic wave guides and granular materials. Elastic waves occured were flexural having both axial and circumferencial components. One of the most important results for physics and technology consists in possible transportation of the elastic deformation energy using solitons at long distances without losses even in materials, having a considerable absorption even for shocks.
