Abstract
The nonlinear dynamics of surface acoustic waves at the surface of a linear elastic half-space coated with a monolayer of a nonlinear material is investigated. A one-dimensional nonlinear integrodifferential equation describing the dynamics of such a system is derived. The model proposed is used to study Rayleigh solitons with a stationary profile.

Abstract
The nonlinear dynamics of surface acoustic waves at the surface of a linear elastic half-space coated with a monolayer of a nonlinear material is investigated. A one-dimensional nonlinear integrodifferential equation describing the dynamics of such a system is derived. The model proposed is used to study Rayleigh solitons with a stationary profile. The possible phenomenological generalizations of the equations derived and their exact soliton solutions are discussed. (C) 2003 American Institute of Physics.
