Traveling waves in 2D hexagonal granular crystal lattices.

چکیده
This study describes the dynamic response of a two-dimensional hexagonal packing of uncompressed stainless steel spheres excited by localized impulsive loadings. The dynamics of the system are modeled using the Hertzian normal contact law. After the initial impact strikes the system, a characteristic wave structure emerges and continuously decays as it propagates through the lattice. Using an extension of the binary collision approximation for one-dimensional chains, we predict its decay rate, which compares well with numerical simulations and experimental data. While the hexagonal lattice does not support constant speed traveling waves, we provide scaling relations that characterize the directional power law decay of the wave velocity for various angles of impact. Lastly, we discuss the effects of weak disorder on the directional amplitude decay rates.

Coupled photonic crystal waveguides in hexagonal lattices
We investigate the dispersion curves of coupled waveguides in hexagonal lattices. We show that hexagonal PCW lattices have coupling coefficients that change magnitude and sign along the BZ. It is also shown that the modes of these structures no longer form odd and even modes but are superposed in a more general sense.

متن کاملRadiationless traveling waves in saturable nonlinear Schrödinger lattices.
The long-standing problem of moving discrete solitary waves in nonlinear Schrödinger lattices is revisited. The context is photorefractive crystal lattices with saturable nonlinearity whose grand-canonical energy barrier vanishes for isolated coupling strength values. Genuinely localized traveling waves are computed as a function of the system parameters for the first time. The relevant solutio...

متن کاملAlgebraic Theory of Crystal Vibrations: Localization Properties of Wave Functions in Two-Dimensional Lattices
The localization properties of the wave functions of vibrations in two-dimensional (2D) crystals are studied numerically for square and hexagonal lattices within the framework of an algebraic model. The wave functions of 2D lattices have remarkable localization properties, especially at the van Hove singularities (vHs). Finite-size sheets with a hexagonal lattice (graphene-like materials), in a...
متن کاملAsymptotics and Uniqueness of Travelling Waves for Non-Monotone Delayed Systems on 2D Lattices
We establish asymptotics and uniqueness (up to translation) of travelling waves for delayed 2D lattice equations with non-monotone birth functions. First, with the help of Ikehara’s Theorem, the a priori asymptotic behavior of travelling wave is exactly derived. Then, based on the obtained asymptotic behavior, the uniqueness of the traveling waves is proved. These results complement earlier res...
