Nucleation of transition waves via collisions of elastic vector solitons
Hiromi Yasuda, Hang Shu, Weijian Jiao +2
In this work, we show that collisions of one type of nonlinear wave can lead to generation of a different kind of nonlinear wave. Specifically, we demonstrate the formation of topo…
Phase transitions in 2D multistable mechanical metamaterials via collisions of soliton-like pulses
Weijian Jiao, Hang Shu, Vincent Tournat +2
In this work, we report observations of phase transitions in 2D multistable mechanical metamaterials that are initiated by collisions of soliton-like pulses in the metamaterial. An…
Nonlinear waves in flexible mechanical metamaterials
Bolei Deng, Jordan R. Raney, Katia Bertoldi +1
Flexible mechanical metamaterials are compliant structures engineered to achieve unique properties via the large deformation of their components. While their static character has b…
Nonlinear waves at the free surface of flexible mechanical metamaterials
Bolei Deng, Hang Shu, Jian Li +4
In this letter we investigate the propagation of nonlinear pulses along the free surface of flexible metamaterials based on the rotating squares mechanism. While these metamaterial…
Modulation instability in nonlinear flexible mechanical metamaterials
Antoine Demiquel, Vassos Achilleos, Georgios Theocharis +1
In this paper, we study modulation instabilities (MI) in a one-dimensional chain configuration of a flexible mechanical metamaterial (flexMM). Using the lumped element approach, fl…
3D characterisation of individual grains of coexisting high-pressure H2O ice phases by time-domain Brillouin scattering
Sathyan Sandeep, Théo Thréard, Elton De Lima Savi +6
Time-domain Brillouin scattering uses ultrashort laser pulses to generate coherent acoustic pulses of picoseconds duration in a solid sample and to follow their propagation in orde…
