On the role of nonlinear distortion in the theory of wave-like aquatic propulsion

Recent experimental investigations of small model boats propelled by propagating flexural waves carried out by the present author and his co-workers demonstrated viability of this type of propulsion as an alternative to a well-known screw propeller. Since the amplitudes of propagating flexural waves...
