Synchronization is central to many complex systems in engineering physics (e.g., the power-grid, Josephson junction circuits, and electro-chemical oscillators) and biology (e.g., neuronal, circadian, and cardiac rhythms). Despite these…
We study two-dimensional tensorial elastic wave transport in densely fractured media and document transitions from propagation to diffusion and to localization/delocalization. For large fracture stiffness, waves are propagative at the scale…
