Our aim in the present work is to develop approximations for the collisional dynamics of traveling waves in the context of granular chains in the presence of precompression. To that effect, we aim to quantify approximations of the relevant…
In this topical review we explore the dynamics of nonlinear lattices with a particular focus to Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou type models that arise in the study of elastic media and, more specifically, granular crystals. We first revisit the…
In this paper we focus on a discrete physical model describing granular crystals, whose equations of motion can be described by a system of differential difference equations (DDEs). After revisiting earlier continuum approximations, we…
In the present work, we review two well-established quasi-continuum models of a Fermi-Pasta-Ulam lattice with Hertzian type potentials, and utilize these two models to approximate the discrete dispersive shock waves (DDSWs) which are…
We show the relevance of the dispersive analogue of the shock waves in the FPU dynamics. In particular we give strict numerical evidences that metastable states emerging from low frequency initial excitations, are indeed constituted by…
We derive and analyze, analytically and numerically, two first-order continuum models to approximate the nonlinear dynamics of granular crystal lattices, focusing specifically on solitary waves, periodic waves, and dispersive shock waves.…
In this paper we construct a higher order expansion of the manifold of quasi unidirectional waves in the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) chain. We also approximate the dynamics on this manifold. As perturbation parameter we use $h^2=1/n^2$, where…
The shock wave structure in a one-dimensional lattice (e.g. granular chain) with a power law dependence of force on displacement between particles with viscous dissipation is considered and compared to the corresponding long wave…
In this paper, we study the nonlinear dispersive waves including the rarefaction and dispersive shock waves in the discrete modified KdV equation through the numerical simulations of the dispersive Riemann problems. In particular, we…
A numerical procedure was developed for solving equations for compressible granular multiphase flows in which the particle volume fraction can range dynamically from very dilute to very dense. The procedure uses a low-dissipation and…
The aim of this work is multifold. Firstly, it intends to present a complete, quantitative and self-contained description of the periodic traveling wave solutions and Whitham modulation equations for the Toda lattice, combining results from…
Dispersive shock waves (DSWs), which connect states of different amplitude via a modulated wave train, form generically in nonlinear dispersive media subjected to abrupt changes in state. The primary tool for the analytical study of DSWs is…
We investigate the dynamics of the Fermi--Pasta--Ulam--Tsingou chain with long-wavelength random initial data. When the energy per particle is small, thermal equilibrium is not reached on a fast timescale and the system enters…
We consider the propagation of a shock wave (SW) in the damped Toda lattice. The SW is a moving boundary between two semi-infinite lattice domains with different densities. A steadily moving SW may exist if the damping in the lattice is…
We study the slow relaxation of isolated quasi-integrable systems, focusing on the classical problem of Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou (FPU) chain. It is well-known that the initial energy sharing between different linear-modes can be inferred by…
We suggest a method for calculation of parameters of dispersive shock waves in framework of Whitham modulation theory applied to non-integrable wave equations with a wide class of initial conditions corresponding to propagation of a pulse…
Acoustic perturbations to stellar envelopes can lead to the formation of weak shock waves via nonlinear wave-steepening. Close to the stellar surface, the weak shock wave increases in strength and can potentially lead to the expulsion of…
The dispersive interacting waves in Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) chains of particles in \textit{thermal equilibrium} are studied from both statistical and wave resonance perspectives. It is shown that, even in a strongly nonlinear regime, the…
We introduce and systematically investigate the generation of dispersive shock waves, which arise naturally in physical settings such as optical waveguide arrays and superfluids confined within optical lattices. The underlying physically…
A full analysis of all regimes for optical dispersive shock wave (DSW) propagation in nematic liquid crystals is undertaken. These dispersive shock waves are generated from step initial conditions for the optical field and are resonant in…
