Integrable model of nonlinear dislocations

Abstract

Using the continuous limit approximation in the dynamical system we study a nonlinear partial differential equation which corresponds to the generalization of both the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam and the Frenkel-Kontorova models. This generalized model can be considered as a model for the description nonlinear dislocation waves in the crystal lattice. We obtain the nonlinear partial differential equation for the description of dislocations. Taking into account the wave moving in one direction we obtain another nonlinear evolution equation. Using the Painlev\'e test we analyze the integrability of this equation. We find that there exist an integrable case of the partial differential equation for nonlinear dislocations. The Lax pair for the solution of the Cauchy problem is found. The solution of the Cauchy problem for nonlinear evolution equation is discussed. One and the two-soliton solutions for the nonlinear evolution equation are presented. The influence of parameters on the propagation of one and the two-soliton solutions is analyzed and demonstrated.
