The response of a granular alignment held between fixed end walls to an impulse was
introduced in the works of Nesterenko between 1983 and the years that followed. He …

We study quasiperiodicity-induced localization of waves in strongly precompressed granular
chains. We propose three different set-ups, inspired by the Aubry–André (AA) model, of …

This study presents numerical simulations of the resonance of a finite-length granular chain
of dissipative grains driven by a harmonically vibrated tube. Multiple gradual resonant …

We examine the long-term behaviour of non-integrable, energy-conserved, 1D systems of
macroscopic grains interacting via a contact-only generalized Hertz potential and held …

We present the detailed dynamics of the particles in the β-Fermi–Pasta–Ulam–Tsingou
(FPUT) chain after the initiation of a localized nonlinear excitation (LNE) by squeezing a …

We explore the possible existence of sufficiently large energy or rogue fluctuations (RFs) at
late times in the strongly nonlinear regime of the classic β Fermi–Pasta–Ulam–Tsingou …

The interaction between individuals in biological populations, dilute components of chemical
systems, or particles transported by turbulent flows depends critically on their contact …

We introduce PULSEDYN, a particle dynamics program written in C++, to solve the
equations of motion of many-body nonlinear systems in one dimension. PULSEDYN …

A momentary velocity perturbation at an edge of a granular chain with the grains barely
touching one another and held between fixed walls propagates as a solitary wave whereas …

We examine the long-term behavior of nonintegrable, energy-conserved, 1D systems of
macroscopic grains interacting via a contact-only generalized Hertz potential and held …
