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…
