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…
Dissipative Solitary Waves in Granular Crystals
R. Carretero-Gonzalez, D. Khatri, Mason A. Porter +2
We provide a quantitative characterization of dissipative effects in one-dimensional granular crystals. We use the propagation of highly nonlinear solitary waves as a diagnostic to…
