Shock propagation in a granular chain
arXiv:cond-mat/9810179 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.59.3202
Abstract
We numerically solve the propagation of a shock wave in a chain of elastic beads with no restoring forces under traction (no-tension elasticity). We find a sequence of peaks of decreasing amplitude and velocity. Analyzing the main peak at different times we confirm a recently proposed scaling law for its decay.
