The longitudinal oscillation of a nonlinear elastic rod with lateral inertia were studied. Based on the far field and simple wave theory, a nonlinear SchrL dinger (NLS) equation was established under the assumption of small amplitude and long wavelength. It is found that there are NLS envelope solitons in this system. Finally the soliton solution of the NLS equation is presented.
