In the analysis, we apply the method of multiple scales and strike a balance between the nonlinearity and the dispersion. Then, the self-modulation of nonlinear SH waves can be given by a nonlinear Schrodinger equation which has the well-known dark solitary solution. Consequently, we show that the dark solitary SH waves can propagate in this plate. Moreover, we take the effects of heterogeneity and the nonlinearity into account for these waves.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessNonlinear SH wavesHeterogeneous plateDark solitary SH wavesArticle10.1007/s00033-019-1152-92-s2.0-850679604284Q170WOS:000473097600003Q1
