Abstract

The nonlinear viscoelastic micropolar medium with constrained rotation (the Cosserat pseudo-continuum) is considered. Using the method of bound normal waves, the original nonlinear system describing the dynamics of the medium is transferred to a system of evolutionary equations. It is shown that these evolutionary equations are four nonlinear partial differential equations two of which are the Burgers equations and the other two are the modified Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) equations. The paper presents the results of the numerical study of nonlinear viscoelastic wave evolution.
