The propagation of incoherent elastic energy in a three-dimensional solid due to the scattering by many, randomly placed and oriented, pinned dislocation segments, is considered in a continuum mechanics framework. The scattering mechanism…
In the present work we revisit the existence, stability and dynamical properties of moving discrete breathers in $\beta$-FPU lattices. On the existence side, we propose a numerical procedure, based on a continuation along a sequence of…
Nonlinearity and disorder are key players in vibrational lattice dynamics, responsible for localization and delocalization phenomena. $q$-Breathers -- periodic orbits in nonlinear lattices, exponentially localized in the reciprocal linear…
We investigate the properties of discrete breathers in a Bose-Einstein condensate with two- and three-body interactions in optical lattice. In the tight-binding approximation the Gross-Pitaevskii equation with periodic potential for the…
A quasi-one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate loaded into a quasi-periodic potential created by two sub-lattices of comparable amplitudes and incommensurate periods is considered. Although the conventional tight-binding approximation is…
We study scattering of a periodic wave in a string on two lumped oscillators attached to it. The equations can be represented as a driven (by the incident wave) dissipative (due to radiation losses) system of delay differential equations of…
In this paper, we investigate two types of time-harmonic elastic wave scattering problems. The first one involves the scattered wave generated by an active elastic source with compact support. The second one concerns elastic wave scattering…
Elastic waves scattering off a periodic single and double array of thin cylindrical defects is considered for isotropic materials. An analytical expression for the scattering matrix is obtained by means of the Lippmann-Schwinger formalism…
The paper addresses compact oscillatory states (compact breathers) in translationally-invariant lattices with flat dispersion bands. The compact breathers appear in such systems even in the linear approximation. If the interactions are…
Magnetic metamaterials composed of split-ring resonators or $U-$type elements may exhibit discreteness effects in THz and optical frequencies due to weak coupling. We consider a model one-dimensional metamaterial formed by a discrete array…
We present analytical and numerical studies of phase-coherent dynamics of intrinsically localized excitations (breathers) in a system of two weakly coupled nonlinear oscillator chains. We show that there are two qualitatively different…
In this paper we consider a 2D hexagonal crystal lattice model first proposed by Marin, Eilbeck and Russell in 1998. We perform a detailed numerical study of nonlinear propagating localized modes, that is, propagating discrete breathers and…
We report the experimental observation of discrete breathers in a one-dimensional diatomic granular crystal composed of compressed elastic beads that interact via Hertzian contact. We first characterize their effective linear spectrum both…
We review the scattering from non-linear interfaces containing buckling elastic beams. An illustrative example is discussed here of scattering of linear elastic pressure waves from a two-mass system connected by a non-linear structured…
In the framework of a one-dimensional model with a tightly localized self-attractive nonlinearity, we study the formation and transfer (dragging) of a trapped mode by "nonlinear tweezers", as well as the scattering of coherent linear wave…
Linear chains of quantum scatterers are studied in the process of lengthening, which is treated and analysed as a discrete dynamical system defined over the manifold of scattering matrices. Elementary properties of such dynamics relate the…
Solitary electromagnetic waves propagating along the waveguides forming a rhombic one-dimensional lattice are considered. Two waveguides that are part of the unit cell are assumed to be made of an optical linear material, while the third…
We study the nonlinear wave dynamics of one-dimensional chains of polycatenated rings. These interlocked structures support amplitude-dependent nonlinear wave propagation driven by tensile activation and internal structural flexibility,…
In the present work, we examine a prototypical model for the formation of bright breathers in nonlinear left-handed metamaterial lattices. Utilizing the paradigm of nonlinear transmission lines, we build a relevant lattice and develop a…
Recently $q$-breathers - time-periodic solutions which localize in the space of normal modes and maximize the energy density for some mode vector $q_0$ - were obtained for finite nonlinear lattices. We scale these solutions together with…
