Three phases of odd robotic active matter
Fan Bo, Shiqi Liu, Zenghong He +8
Nonreciprocal interactions in active matter are known to generate exotic mechanical behaviors such as odd elasticity and odd viscosity. However, these phenomena have largely been s…
Discrete Breathers in a Mass-in-Mass Chain with Hertzian Local Resonators
S. P. Wallen, J. Lee, D. Mei +3
We report on the existence of discrete breathers in a one-dimensional, mass-in-mass chain with linear intersite coupling and nonlinear Hertzian local resonators, which is motivated…
Hysteresis Loops and Multi-stability: From Periodic Orbits to Chaotic Dynamics (and Back) in Diatomic Granular Crystals
C. Hoogeboom, Y. Man, N. Boechler +4
In the present work we consider a diatomic granular crystal, consisting of alternating aluminum and steel spheres, where the first sphere is an aluminum one. The combination of dis…
Defect Modes in One-Dimensional Granular Crystals
N. Boechler, G. Theocharis, Y. Man +2
We study the vibrational spectra of one-dimensional statically compressed granular crystals (arrays of elastic particles in contact) containing defects. We focus on the prototypica…
Tunable Vibrational Band Gaps in One-Dimensional Diatomic Granular Crystals with Three-Particle Unit Cells
N. Boechler, J. Yang, G. Theocharis +2
We investigate the tunable vibration filtering properties of one-dimensional diatomic granular crystals composed of arrays of stainless steel spheres and cylinders interacting via…
Intrinsic Energy Localization through Discrete Gap Breathers in One-Dimensional Diatomic Granular Crystals
G. Theocharis, N. Boechler, P. G. Kevrekidis +3
We present a systematic study of the existence and stability of discrete breathers that are spatially localized in the bulk of a one-dimensional chain of compressed elastic beads t…
Discrete Breathers in One-Dimensional Diatomic Granular Crystals
N. Boechler, G. Theocharis, S. Job +3
We report the experimental observation of discrete breathers in a one-dimensional diatomic granular crystal composed of compressed elastic beads that interact via Hertzian contact.…
Nonlinear Waves in Disordered Diatomic Granular Chains
Laurent Ponson, Nicholas Boechler, Yi Ming Lai +3
We investigate the propagation and scattering of highly nonlinear waves in disordered granular chains composed of diatomic (two-mass) units of spheres that interact via Hertzian co…
