Deviations from Poisson statistics in the spectra of free rectangular thin plates
J. L. López-González, J. A. Franco-Villafañe, R. A. Méndez-Sánchez +4
The counterintuitive fact that wave chaos appears in the bending spectrum of free rectangular thin plates is presented. After extensive numerical simulations, varying the ratio bet…
Emulating tightly bound electrons in crystalline solids using mechanical waves
F. Ramírez-Ramírez, E. Flores-Olmedo, G. Báez +2
Solid state physics deals with systems composed of atoms with strongly bound electrons. The tunneling probability of each electron is determined by interactions that typically exte…
Mechanical Rainbow Trapping and Bloch Oscillations in Structured Elastic Beams
A. Arreola-Lucas, G. Báez, F. Cervera +3
We demonstrate, both experimentally and numerically, the mechanical rainbow trapping effect and the mechanical Bloch oscillations for torsional waves propagating in chirped mechani…
In-plane vibrations of a rectangular plate: plane wave expansion modelling and experiment
A. Arreola-Lucas, J. A. Franco-Villafañe, G. Báez +1
Theoretical and experimental results for in-plane vibrations of a uniform rectangular plate with free boundary conditions are obtained. The experimental setup uses electromagnetic-…
Electromagnetic prompt response in an elastic wave cavity
A. M. Martínez-Argüello, M. Martínez-Mares, M. Cobián-Suárez +2
A rapid, or prompt response, of an electromagnetic nature, is found in an elastic wave scattering experiment. The experiment is performed with torsional elastic waves in a quasi-on…
Acoustic resonance spectroscopy for the advanced undergraduate laboratory
J. A. Franco-Villafañe, E. Flores-Olmedo, G. Báez +2
We present a simple experiment that allows advanced undergraduates to learn the principles and applications of spectroscopy. The technique, known as acoustic resonance spectroscopy…
