Strongly nonlinear dynamics and acoustics of coupled granular sonic vacua: theoretical and experimental studies
… attention in recent years. The use of ordered granular media is a promising candidate for such designs. Ordered granular media are ordered aggregates, where neighboring particles (or granules) interact elastically in a highly nonlinear fashion. These highly discontinuous media have …

Wave propagation in one dimensional confined granular media
Ordered granular media, such as a one dimensional aligned chain of spherical particles, have unique dynamic properties arising from the contact interaction of their individual grain constituents. A primary result of this contact, the formation of solitary waves in dynamically loaded one dimensional …

Wave management in 1D and 2D granular systems: designs for stress wave mitigation and control
… etc. that otherwise may not be present. Ordered granular media are one material group that has shown promise in this respect as they have been shown, at least in the elastic range, to possess very different wave propagation properties than continuous solids, such as the ability to sustain …

Theoretical and experimental studies of the dynamics and acoustics of forced ordered granular networks
Ordered arrays of granular particles (beads) have attracted considerable attention in recent years due to their rich dynamical behaviors and interesting properties. Depending on the ratio of static to dynamic deformations between particles the dynamics of granular media is highly tunable ranging …

Strongly nonlinear acoustics of one-dimensional granular sonic vacua
… dynamics and acoustics of one dimensional ordered granular media. In particular the considered granular systems are composed of discrete elastic spherical beads that mutually interact through strongly nonlinear Hertzian force interaction law. In this work we primarily consider the granular …
