Supersonic traveling wave solutions to the Morse lattice are considered. By numerical means, we show that initial shock like initial values always evolve into traveling shock solutions after the emission of radiation traveling at the sound speed. Using a trial function which includes a shape modulation in the core of the shock we show how the Peierls-Nabarro self consistent potential induced by the lattice is canceled by the adjustment of the phase. We find excellent agreement between the modulation analysis and the numerical solutions.
Keywords: Modulation averaged Lagrangian, Peierls-Nabarro potential, Supersonic traveling waves..
