Damped-driven granular chains: an ideal playground for dark breathers and multibreathers.
By applying an out-of-phase actuation at the boundaries of a uniform chain of granular particles, we demonstrate experimentally that time-periodic and spatially localized structures with a nonzero background (so-called dark breathers) emerge for a wide range of parameter values and initial conditions. We demonstrate a remarkable control over the number of breathers within the multibreather patt...
متن کاملDark breathers in granular crystals.
We present a study of the existence, stability, and bifurcation structure of families of dark breathers in a one-dimensional uniform chain of spherical beads under static load. A defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) is derived for frequencies that are close to the edge of the phonon band and is used to construct targeted initial conditions for numerical computations. Salient features...
متن کاملNonlinear waves in granular crystals
We investigate excitations in one-dimensional granular crystals, i.e. chains of solid beads with nonlinear interaction forces. These chains have attracted attention because of their relative experimental simplicity and interesting dynamics. They can be modelled as chains of coupled oscillators in a model reminiscent of the celebrated Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) equations. The nonlinearity of the int...
متن کاملDiscrete breathers in a forced-damped array of coupled pendula: modeling, computation, and experiment.
In this work, we present a mechanical example of an experimental realization of a stability reversal between on-site and intersite centered localized modes. A corresponding realization of a vanishing of the Peierls-Nabarro barrier allows for an experimentally observed enhanced mobility of the localized modes near the reversal point. These features are supported by detailed numerical computation...
متن کاملBreathers in a locally resonant granular chain with precompression
We study a locally resonant granular material in the form of a precompressed Hertzian chain with linear internal resonators. Using an asymptotic reduction, we derive an effective nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) modulation equation. This, in turn, leads us to provide analytical evidence, subsequently corroborated numerically, for the existence of two distinct types of discrete breathers related to a...
