Scattering of solitary waves in granular media

Soft Condensed Matter 2009-11-11 v2

Abstract

A detailed numerical study of the scattering of solitary waves by a barrier, in a granular media with Hertzian contact, shows the existence of secondary multipulse structures generated at the interface of two "sonic vacua", which have a similar structure as the one previously found by Nesterenko and coworkers.
