Strain gradient elasticity and nonlocal elasticity are two enhanced elastic theories intensively used over the last fifty years to explain static and dynamic phenomena that classical elasticity fails to do. The nonlocal elastic theory has a…
We consider the `classical' Boussinesq system in one space dimension and its symmetric analog. These systems model two-way propagation of nonlinear, dispersive long waves of small amplitude on the surface of an ideal fluid in a uniform…

The purpose of this paper is to extend the store of models able to support integrable defects by investigating the two-dimensional Boussinesq nonlinear wave equation. As has been previously noted in many examples, insisting that a defect…
