Patterns of traveling intrinsic localized modes in a driven electrical lattice.

چکیده
The emergence of very stable traveling intrinsic localized modes (ILMs) locked to a uniform driver is demonstrated in a discrete electrical transmission line. The speed of these traveling ILMs is tunable by the driver amplitude and frequency. It is found to be quite sensitive to the ratio of intersite to on-site nonlinearity. The number of traveling ILMs can also be selected via the driving conditions and appears to be the result of a spatiotemporal pattern selection process.

Traveling and stationary intrinsic localized modes and their spatial control in electrical lattices.
This work focuses on the production of both stationary and traveling intrinsic localized modes (ILMs), also known as discrete breathers, in two closely related electrical lattices; we demonstrate experimentally that the interplay between these two ILM types can be utilized for the purpose of spatial control. We describe a novel mechanism that is responsible for the motion of driven ILMs in this...
متن کاملExperimental generation of intrinsic localized modes in a discrete electrical transmission line
Experimental evidence for the generation of intrinsic localized modes (ILMs) in a nonlinear electrical transmission line is presented both via modulational instability of the uniform mode and via driving the lattice locally. The spatial profiles of these modes localized on the order of the lattice spacing can be directly measured in this macroscopic lattice, in contrast to most other systems wh...
متن کاملDriven localized excitations in the acoustic spectrum of small nonlinear macroscopic and microscopic lattices.
Both bright and dark traveling, locked, intrinsic localized modes (ILMs) have been generated with a spatially uniform driver at a frequency in the acoustic spectrum of a nonlinear micromechanical cantilever array. Complementary numerical simulations show that a minimum density of modes, hence array size, is required for the formation of such locked smoothly running excitations. Additional simul...
متن کاملGeneration of localized modes in an electrical lattice using subharmonic driving.
We show experimentally and numerically that an intrinsic localized mode (ILM) can be stably produced (and experimentally observed) via subharmonic, spatially homogeneous driving in the context of a nonlinear electrical lattice. The precise nonlinear spatial response of the system has been seen to depend on the relative location in frequency between the driver frequency, ω(d), and the bottom of ...
متن کاملMultiple states of intrinsic localized modes
In the framework of the continuum approximation, localized modes in nonlinear lattices ~‘‘intrinsic localized modes’’ or ‘‘discrete breathers’’! are described by the nonlinear Schrödinger ~NLS! equation. We go beyond this approximation and analyze what kind of qualitatively new effects can be introduced by discreteness. Taking into account the higher-order linear and nonlinear dispersion terms ...
