Generalized Microstructure PDE

One dimensional wave propagation in microstructured solids has recently been modeled by an equation


v_{tt} - b v_{xx} − \frac{\mu }{2}\left( v \right)_{xx} − \delta \left(\beta v_{tt} - \gamma v_{xx} \right)_{xx} = 0

It admits embedded solitons of the form  A\left(z\right) = \ell sech^2\left(k z\right) when  \frac{ c^2 - b }{\delta\left(\beta c^2 - \gamma\right) } > 0. The constants k and \ell depend on β,δ,γ,μ and c is the wave speed after the coordinate transformation z = xct.

This equation has the property of being a reversible system, and therefore one may find the exact solution without resorting to the Inverse Scattering Transform by using properties of reversible systems to recast the equation in terms of a bilinear operator.
