We consider the scattering of elastic waves by highly oscillating anisotropic periodic media with bounded support. Applying the two-scale homogenization, we first obtain a constant coefficient second-order partial differential elliptic…

This article delves into the intricate dynamics of Rayleigh wave propagation within a nonlocal orthotropic medium, where the presence of void and diffusion adds an intriguing layer to the analysis. Grounded in Eringen nonlocal elasticity…

We study the rheology of a soft particulate system where the inter-particle interactions are weakly attractive. Using extensive molecular dynamics simulations, we scan across a wide range of packing fractions ($\phi$), attraction strengths…

We derive a nonlinear acoustic wave propagation model for analysing the thermoviscous dissipation in narrow pores with wavy walls. As the nonlinear waves propagate in the thermoviscous pores, the wave-steepening effect competes with the…

In stark contrast to the jamming of frictionless hard-sphere (hard-disk if in two dimensions) packings, the critical jamming of frictional packings is much more elusive and still under intense debate. Here we show that frictional hard-disk…

Discrete materials composed of masses connected by strongly nonlinear links with anomalous behavior (reduction of elastic modulus with strain) have very interesting wave dynamics. Such links may be composed of materials exhibiting…

We carry out constant volume simulations of steady-state, shear driven flow in a simple model of athermal, bidisperse, soft-core, frictionless disks in two dimensions, using a dissipation law that gives rise to Bagnoldian rheology. Focusing…

The elastic collective modes of a moir\'e superlattice arise not from vibrations of a rigid crystal but from the relative displacement between the constituent layers. Despite their similarity to acoustic phonons, these modes, called…

We develop a formalism for the calculation of the frequency band structure of a phononic crystal consisting of non-overlapping elastic spheres, characterized by Lam\'e coefficients which may be complex and frequency dependent, arranged…

Recent progress on studies of the nanoscale mechanical responses in disordered systems has highlighted a strong degree of heterogeneity in the elastic moduli. In this contribution, using computer simulations, we study the elastic…

In this paper, we develop a model to describe the generalized wave-particle instability in a quasi-neutral plasma. We analyze the quasi-linear diffusion equation for particles by expressing an arbitrary unstable and resonant wave mode as a…

Propagation of P and SV waves in an elastic solid containing randomly distributed inclusions in a half-space is investigated. The approach is based on a multiple scattering analysis similar to the one proposed by Fikioris and Waterman for…

We study energy minimized configurations of amorphous solids with a simple shear degree of freedom. We show that the low-frequency regime of the vibrational density of states of structural glass formers is crucially sensitive to the…

Quasi-localised modes appear in the vibrational spectrum of amorphous solids at low-frequency. Though never formalised, these modes are believed to have a close relationship with other important local excitations, including shear…

We investigate and experimentally demonstrate the elastic wave filtering properties of graded undulated lattices. Square reticulates composed of curved beams are characterized by graded mechanical properties which result from the spatial…

Seismic attenuation in granular porous media is of paramount importance in rock physics and seismology. Unlike sandstones, shales are mixtures of sand grains and clays with extremely low porosity and permeability. Swelling of clays upon…

We study the structural and mechanical properties of jammed ellipse packings, and find that the nature of the jamming transition in these systems is fundamentally different from that for spherical particles. Ellipse packings are generically…

Assemblies of purely repulsive and frictionless particles, such as emulsions or hard spheres, display very curious properties near their jamming transition, which occurs at the random close packing for mono-disperse spheres. Although such…

We measure the resonant forward scattering of light by a highly saturated atomic medium through the flashes emitted immediately after an abrupt extinction of the probe beam. The experiment is done in a dilute regime where the phenomena are…

By finding local minima of an enthalpy-like energy, we can generate jammed packings of frictionless spheres under constant shear stress $\sigma$ and obtain the yield stress $\sigma_y$ by sampling the potential energy landscape. For…
