We suggest using spatially modulated strain for control of a spin wave propagating inside a bulk magnet. The modulation with the wave vector $q=2k$, by virtue of magnetoelasticity, mixes spin waves with wave vectors near $k$ and $-k$. This…

The effect of temporal modulation on traveling waves in the flows in two distinct systems of rotating cylinders, both with broken azimuthal symmetry, has been investigated. It is shown that by modulating the control parameter at twice the…
