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…
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…
