Abstract

The linear damping mechanism of the Rayleigh waves is extended to the nonlinear one. Conferring to the model, the analytical method is chosen for the solutions. These solutions depict the unusual bifurcation of the rupture path related to the intersection point of antisoliton and soliton.
