Abstract

Transverse elastic waves behave differently in nonlinear isotropic and anisotropic media. While in the former the quadratically nonlinear coupling in the evolution equations for waves' amplitudes is not possible, such a coupling may occur for certain directions in anisotropic materials. We identify the expression responsible for the coupling and we derive coupled canonical evolution equations for transverse waves' amplitudes in the case of a two-fold and three-fold symmetry acoustic axes. We illustrate our considerations by the examples devoted to a cubic crystal.
