Nonlinear Wave Propagation in 1D Polycatenated Ring Chains

Xiaoxiao Xiong, Reo Yanagi, Tingtao Zhou +1

We study the nonlinear wave dynamics of one-dimensional chains of polycatenated rings. These interlocked structures support amplitude-dependent nonlinear wave propagation driven by…

Nonlinear Coherent Structures in Granular Crystals

C. Chong, Mason A. Porter, P. G. Kevrekidis +1

The study of granular crystals, metamaterials that consist of closely packed arrays of particles that interact elastically, is a vibrant area of research that combines ideas from d…

Exciting and Harvesting Vibrational States in Harmonically Driven Granular Chains

C. Chong, E. Kim, E. G. Charalampidis +6

This article explores the excitation of different vibrational states in a spatially extended dynamical system through theory and experiment. As a prototypical example, we consider…

Directed Ratchet Transport in Granular Crystals

V. Berardi, J. Lydon, P. G. Kevrekidis +2

Directed-ratchet transport (DRT) in a one-dimensional lattice of spherical beads, which serves as a prototype for granular crystals, is investigated. We consider a system where the…

Damped-Driven Granular Crystals: An Ideal Playground for Dark Breathers and Multibreathers

C. Chong, F. Li, J. Yang +4

By applying an out-of-phase actuation at the boundaries of a uniform chain of granular particles, we demonstrate experimentally that time-periodic and spatially localized structure…

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…
