MAIN RESULTS
Interaction solitons, shallow water
Surface elevation in the vicinity of the interaction area, corresponding to incoming solitons with equal amplitudes but different angles between their crests.
MAIN RESULTS
Interaction of solitons in nature
MAIN RESULTS
Emergence of solitons
Emergence of solitons from an harmonic excitation in force field. After a certain transfer period the emerging coherent pattern is seen with amplified solitons.
MAIN RESULTS
Wave motion and dynamics
Mindlin model for microstructured solids, 1D. Two trains of solitons emerging from a single input.
MAIN RESULTS
Phase transition
Stress wave changes the shape of a martensitic inclusion in an austenitic solid.

Martensite
Austenite
Shift of a phase boundary (green line) between martensite and austenite under localized pulse-type stress load at the left boundary. The influence of shear causes a rugged interface.
MAIN RESULTS
Biophysics
Schematic representation of the biochemical processes in the reaction-diffusion model of the heart cell.
