Abstract
In this paper we present thorough experimental observation of the process of shock wave transformation into a bulk strain solitary wave in a nonlinearly elastic solid bar made of polystyrene. A theoretical model based on the describing propagation of a plane elastic wave in a bar is developed with account made for material nonlinearity and viscosity. Numerical modeling performed on the base of the developed model with and without regard to viscosity demonstrated formation of a long stable disturbance at proper account made for viscoelastic properties of the bar material.
