Breathers in oscillator chains with Hertzian interactions
We prove nonexistence of breathers (spatially localized and time-periodic oscillations) for a class of Fermi-Pasta-Ulam lattices representing an uncompressed chain of beads interacting via Hertz’s contact forces. We then consider the setting in which an additional on-site potential is present, motivated by the Newton’s cradle under the effect of gravity. Using both direct numerical computations...
متن کاملPhase diagram of Hertzian spheres.
We report the phase diagram of interpenetrating Hertzian spheres. The Hertz potential is purely repulsive, bounded at zero separation, and decreases monotonically as a power law with exponent 5/2, vanishing at the overlapping threshold. This simple functional describes the elastic interaction of weakly deformable bodies and, therefore, it is a reliable physical model of soft macromolecules, lik...
متن کاملBreathers and surface modes in oscillator chains with Hertzian interactions
We study localized waves in chains of oscillators coupled by Hertzian interactions and trapped in local potentials. This problem is originally motivated by Newton’s cradle, a mechanical system consisting of a chain of touching beads subject to gravity and attached to inelastic strings. We consider an unusual setting with local oscillations and collisions acting on similar time scales, a situati...
متن کاملEQUILIBRIUM FOR PROCUREMENT STRATEGY BETWEEN TRIAD COMPETITIVE SUPPLY CHAINS
In today complex worldwide supply chains, intermediary organizations like Contract manufacturers and GPOs are mostly used. Well-known OEMs delegate their purchasing and procuring to these intermediaries. Because of their positive influence on supply chain efficiency, it is very important to investigate the role of intermediaries in today competitive supply chains. One important question arising...
متن کاملOn the Existence of Solitary Traveling Waves for Generalized Hertzian Chains
We consider the question of existence of “bell-shaped” (i.e. non-increasing for x > 0 and non-decreasing for x < 0) traveling waves for the strain variable of the generalized Hertzian model describing, in the special case of a p = 3/2 exponent, the dynamics of a granular chain. The proof of existence of such waves is based on the English and Pego [Proceedings of the AMS 133, 1763 (2005)] formul...
