Highly nonlinear solitary waves in periodic dimer granular chains (2008)

Porter, Mason A., Daraio, Chiara, Herbold, Eric B., Szelengowicz, Ivan, Kevrekidis, P. G.

We investigate the propagation of highly nonlinear solitary waves in heterogeneous, periodic granular media using experiments, numerical simulations, and theoretical analysis. We examine periodic...

Highly Nonlinear Solitary Waves in Heterogeneous Periodic Granular Media (2007)

Porter, Mason A., Daraio, Chiara, Szelengowicz, Ivan, Herbold, Eric B., Kevrekidis, P. G.

We use experiments, numerical simulations, and theoretical analysis to investigate the propagation of highly nonlinear solitary waves in periodic arrangements of dimer (two-mass) and trimer...

Influence of Controlled Viscous Dissipation on the Propagation of Strongly Nonlinear Waves in Stainless Steel Based Phononic Crystals (2006)

Herbold, Eric B., Nesterenko, Vitali F., Daraio, Chiara

Strongly nonlinear phononic crystals were assembled from stainless steel spheres. Single solitary waves and splitting of an initial pulse into a train of solitary waves were investigated in different...
