Conference on Symmetry and Perturbation Theory, Cala Gonone, İtalya, 30 Mayıs - 06 Haziran 2004, ss.22-26
Wave propagation in a bulk medium composed of an elastic material with couple stresses is considered. Using a multi-scale expansion of quasi-monochromatic wave solutions, it is shown that (2+1) (two spatial and one temporal) dimensional wave modulation is governed by a system of three nonlinear evolution equations which will be called the "generalized Davey-Stewartson (GDS) equations". Some special solutions of the GDS equations are also presented.
