Abstract

The evolution equations for nonlinear seismic waves possessing a bounded range of frequencies with increasing amplitudes are analysed. It is shown from the evolution equations that the momentum of the system is conserved, and properties of the energy functional are investigated. The spatial period of the mode with the greatest amplification of the initial perturbation is studied. Conservation of convective nonlinearity leads to a stable stationary structure travelling with the velocity of the nonlinear seismic waves.
