A mechanical autonomous stochastic heat engine
Marc Serra-Garcia, André Foehr, Miguel Molerón +3
Stochastic heat engines are devices that generate work from random thermal motion using a small number of highly fluctuating degrees of freedom. Proposals for such devices have exi…
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…
Extraordinary stiffness tunability through thermal expansion of nonlinear defect modes
Marc Serra-Garcia, Joseph Lydon, Chiara Daraio
Incremental stiffness characterizes the variation of a material's force response to a small deformation change. Typically materials have an incremental stiffness that is fixed and…
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…
