Using the method of multiple scales, we strike a balance between the nonlinearity and the dispersion, and by then, we see that the nonlinear modulation of these waves can express in terms of a nonlinear Schrodinger equation. We know that this equation has been derived from many areas of physics and has some solitary wave solutions. Therefore, we claim that the antisymmetric dark solitary SH waves exist and propagate in this plate, in addition to considering both the heterogeneous effect and the nonlinear effect on the deformation field for these waves.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessNonlinear SH wavesHeterogeneous plateDark solitary SH wavesArticle10.1007/s00033-019-1218-82-s2.0-850750246086Q170WOS:000497757000001Q2
