Summary.

Results are presented from theory and experiments carried out to excite and observe a localized nonlinear longitudinal strain wave (soliton) in nonlinearly elastic solid rods. It is shown that such a wave conserves its amplitude and shape during its propagation in a waveguide. The process of soliton reflection from both the free and bounded tips of the rod is studied.
