Abstract
This paper studies nonlinear wave propagation in a slender elastic cylinder due to impacts. One purpose is to examine what kinds of wave patterns can arise when both the material nonlinearity caused by a non-convex energy function and the dispersion caused by the lateral movement are present. A high-order weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) scheme is used to obtain the numerical solutions of a model equation which takes into account the dispersion and the above-mentioned nonlinearity. It turns out that a variety of wave patterns can appear, including the co-existence of a transformation front and solitons. We also find that pre-strains and the geometrical size can have some important influences. The interactions of transformation fronts and rarefaction waves (which have not been considered in literature before) are investigated and some interesting phenomena are found.
