Nonlinear waves in an inextensible flexible helix
نویسنده
چکیده
The complete analytical solution of the governing nonlinear vector equations is found which describes periodic and solitary propagating-rotating waves in an initially helical fiber. A detailed description of various types of these waves is given. The solitary wave velocity is found to be proportional to the square root of the amplitude of the internal force, and the effective wave length is shown to be independent of the amplitude. The essential influence of the rigid body rotation of the helix on the wave shape is shown. Axial and angular momenta are determined as well. Copyright

Flexible helices for nonlinear metamaterials.
The successful fabrication and experimental verification of a novel metamaterial based on flexible metallic helices is reported. The helices undergo compression under the influence of incident radiation, demonstrating a nonlinear chiral electromagnetic response, associated with the power-dependent change in the helix pitch. This design is promising for application to power-dependent polarizatio...
متن کاملBending of flexible magnetic rods.
The flexible inextensible magnetic rod model is applied for the study of bending and buckling deformations of the paramagnetic particle chains linked by polymer molecules. It is shown that the existing experimental results can be reasonably well described by this model which takes into account the normal magnetic forces arising at chain bending deformation. By matching the experimentally observ...
متن کاملInextensible elastic rods with torsional friction based on Lagrange multipliers
Elastic rods are thin flexible objects typically undergoing large non-linear deformations that cannot be modeled with linear methods. They are used in a number of research fields, e. g., to represent hair or ropes in animations, or catheters or needles in medical simulations. In this paper, we propose a deformation model for inextensible elastic rods. The method of Lagrange multipliers is emplo...
متن کاملBinary wave in a helical fiber
Axial dynamic tension of a flexible helical fiber is found to lead to a specific, extraordinary nonlinear wave consisting of two different portions. The leading portion is a quasiperiodical propagating wave with rotation opposite to the initial twist of the helix, while the rear portion is a sequence of standing waves rotating in the reverse direction. The interface is the origin of two angular...
متن کاملA Study of Bit Condition for Generation Rx -Mode Waves: Interaction of Particles with Z/UH-Mode Waves
Interactions of charge particles with electromagnetic waves have important effects (linear and nonlinear) on the propagation of electromagnetic waves, and it can somewhat play a role in generation of the new mode waves. Besides, the particle energies can play an important role in causing instability in plasma. The values of parallel energy of the particles have been calculated so that they can ...
