The concept of nonlinear modes is useful for the dynamical characterization of nonlinear mechanical systems. While efficient and broadly applicable methods are now available for the computation of nonlinear modes, nonlinear modal testing is…
We discuss a possible origin of the recently discovered microwave-induced zero-resistance states in very-high-electron-mobility two-dimensional electron systems. We suggest a scenario, in which two mechanisms, bulk and edge, contribute to…

Within the Landau-Ginzburg picture of phase transitions, scalar field theories develop phase separation because of a spontaneous symmetry-breaking mechanism. This picture works in thermodynamics but also in the dynamics of phase separation.…
We explore nonreciprocal vibration transmission in a nonlinear periodic waveguide. Nonlinearity and asymmetry, the two necessary requirements for nonreciprocity, are both introduced within the unit cell of the periodic waveguide. We focus…
Nonreciprocity is most commonly associated with a large difference in the transmitted energy when the locations of the source and receiver are interchanged. This energy bias is accompanied by a difference in the transmitted phase. We…
We consider the diffusion of independent particles experiencing random accelerations by a space- and time-dependent force as well as viscous damping. This model can exhibit several asymptotic behaviours, depending upon the limiting cases…
Porous electrodes composed of multiphase active materials are widely used in Li-ion batteries, but their dynamics are poorly understood. Two-phase models are largely empirical, and no models exist for three or more phases. Using a modified…
Elastic deformation due to embedded fluidic networks is currently studied in the context of soft-actuators and soft-robotic applications. In this work, we analyze interaction between the elastic deflection of a slender beam and viscous flow…
We address two aspects of the dynamics of the forced Duffing oscillator which are relevant to the technology of micromechanical devices and, at the same time, have intrinsic significance to the field of nonlinear oscillating systems. First,…
An electron or electron-positron beam streaming through a plasma is notoriously prone to micro-instabilities. For a dilute ultrarelativistic infinite beam, the dominant instability is a mixed mode between longitudinal two-stream and…
Recent experiments have found that a mechanically distorted blue phase can exhibit a primary linear electro-optic (Pockels) effect [F. Castles \textit{et al}. Nature Mater. \textbf{13}, 817 (2014)]. Here it is shown that flexoelectricity…
Superconducting vortices and phase slips are primary mechanisms of dissipation in superconducting, superfluid, and cold atom systems. While the dynamics of vortices is fairly well described, phase slips occurring in quasi-one dimensional…

Surface distortions to an otherwise planar channel flow introduce vorticity perturbations. We examine this scenario in viscoelastic fluids, and identify new mechanisms by which significant vorticity perturbations can be generated in both…
In this paper, we report a theoretical study of the phase diffusion in a gain-switched single-mode semiconductor laser. We use stochastic rate equations for the electrical field to analyze the phase statistics of the gain-switched laser.…
The optical Faraday effect describes the rotation of linear polarization upon propagation through a medium in the presence of a longitudinal magnetic field. The effect arises from a different phase delay between the right and left handed…
We examine the effects of a periodically varying flow velocity on the standing and travelling wave patterns formed by the flow-distributed oscillation (FDO) mechanism. In the kinematic (or diffusionless) limit, the phase fronts undergo a…
