Abstract This paper presents analytical results on the propagation of periodic sawtooth strain waves in solids with hysteretic nonlinearity characterized by a power law with an arbitrary exponent. Exact solutions for wave profiles are derived for 1D propagation in the case of integer power-law exponents. For fractional power-law exponents, numerical and approximate analytical solutions are obtained.
