Dynamic phenomena and crack propagation in dissimilar elastic lattices
A. Piccolroaz, N. Gorbushin, G. S. Mishuris +1
Dynamic Mode III interfacial fracture in a dissimilar square-cell lattice, composed of two contrasting mass-spring lattice half-planes joined at an interface, is considered. The fr…

Alternating strain regimes for failure propagation in flexural systems
M. Garau, M. J. Nieves, I. S. Jones
We consider both analytical and numerical studies of a steady-state fracture process inside a discrete mass-beam structure, composed of periodically placed masses connected by Eule…

Interfacial waveforms in chiral lattices with gyroscopic spinners
Marta Garau, Giorgio Carta, Michael Nieves +3
We demonstrate a new method of achieving topologically protected states in a discrete hexagonal lattice by attaching gyroscopic spinners, which bring chirality to the system. Dispe…
