Amorphous solids tend to present an abundance of soft elastic modes, which diminish their transport properties, generate heterogeneities in their elastic response, and affect non-linear processes like thermal activation of plasticity. This…

We present an instability for exciting incompressible modes (e.g. gravity or Rossby modes) at the surface of a star accreting through a boundary layer. The instability excites a stellar mode by sourcing an acoustic wave in the disk at the…

Using molecular dynamics simulation, we study acoustic resonance in low-temperature glass by applying a small periodic shear at a boundary wall. Shear wave resonance occurs as the frequency $\omega$ approaches $\omega_\ell= \pi…

The damping or attenuation coefficient of sound waves in solids due to impurities scales with the wavevector to the fourth power, also known as Rayleigh scattering. In amorphous solids, Rayleigh scattering may be enhanced by a logarithmic…

We experimentally study linear and nonlinear waves on the surface of a fluid covered by an elastic sheet where both tension and flexural waves take place. An optical method is used to obtain the full space-time wave field, and the…

Weakly scattering random lasers exhibit lasing modes that spatially overlap and can interact strongly via gain saturation. Consequently, lasing in high-threshold modes may be suppressed by strong low-threshold lasing modes. We numerically…

Some aspects of how sound waves travel through disordered solids are still unclear. Recent work has characterized a feature of disordered solids which seems to influence vibrational excitations at the mesoscales, local elastic…

Colloidal and other granular media experience a transition to rigidity known as jamming if the fill fraction is increased beyond a critical value. The resulting jammed structures are locally disordered, bear applied loads inhomogenously,…

Rayleigh scattering generates intensity noise close to an optical carrier that propagates in a single-mode optical fiber. This noise degrades the performance of optoelectronic oscillators and RF-photonic links. When using a broad linewidth…

Optical nanofibers provide a rich platform for exploring atomic and optical phenomena even when they support only a single spatial mode. Nanofibers supporting higher-order modes provide additional degrees of freedom to enable complex…

A highly unusual pattern of strong multiple resonances for bulk electromagnetic waves is predicted and analysed numerically in thick periodic holographic gratings in a slab with the mean permittivity that is larger than that of the…

Non-linear sound propagation is investigated computationally by simulating compressible time-developing mixing layers using the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) approach and solving the viscous Burgers Equation. The mixing layers are of…

Non linear dynamic behaviour of a normally excited preloaded Hertzian contact (including possible contact losses) is investigated using an experimental test rig. It consists on a double sphere plane contact loaded by the weight of a rigid…

In this work, we study the acoustic forces acting on particles due to sound scattering at the interface with an elastic substrate. Utilizing the Green's function formalism, we predict that excitation of leaking Rayleigh wave results in…

This paper, in French, describes a series of completely different behaviours of the mechanics of granular matter, which are obtained experimentally using periodic forcing at different amplitude, frequency and orientation. It starts with the…

The self-diffusion coefficient of a granular gas in the homogeneous cooling state is analyzed near the shearing instability. Using mode-coupling theory, it is shown that the coefficient diverges logarithmically as the instability is…

We study the half-plane problem for the elastic wave equation subject to a free surface boundary condition, with particular emphasis on almost incompressible materials. A normal mode analysis is developed to estimate the solution in terms…

We consider frequency-domain acoustic scattering at a homogeneous star-shaped penetrable obstacle, whose shape is uncertain and modelled via a radial spectral parameterization with random coefficients. Using recent results on the stability…

The jamming transition is an important feature of granular materials, with prior work showing an excess of low frequency modes in the granular analog to the density of states, the granular density of modes. In this work, we present an…

We consider a periodic array of resonators, formed from Euler-Bernoulli beams, attached to the surface of an elastic half-space. Earlier studies of such systems have concentrated on compressional resonators. In this paper we consider the…
