  • multiscale tunability of Solitary Wave dynamics in tensegrity metamaterials
    Applied Physics Letters, 2014
    Co-Authors: Fernando Fraternali, Gerardo Carpentieri, Ada Amendola, Robert E Skelton, V F Nesterenko
    Abstract:

    A class of strongly nonlinear metamaterials based on tensegrity concepts is proposed, and the Solitary Wave dynamics under impact loading is investigated. Such systems can be tuned into elastic hardening or elastic softening regimes by adjusting local and global prestress. In the softening regime these metamaterials are able to transform initially compression pulse into a Solitary rarefaction Wave followed by oscillatory tail with progressively decreasing amplitude. Interaction of a compression Solitary pulse with an interface between elastically hardening and softening materials having correspondingly low-high acoustic impedances demonstrates anomalous behavior: a train of reflected compression Solitary Waves in the low impedance material; and a transmitted Solitary rarefaction Wave with oscillatory tail in high impedance material. The interaction of a rarefaction Solitary Wave with an interface between elastically softening and elastically hardening materials with high-low impedances also demonstrates anomalous behavior: a reflected Solitary rarefaction Wave with oscillatory tail in the high impedance branch; and a delayed train of transmitted compression Solitary pulses in the low impedance branch. These anomalous impact transformation properties may allow for the design of ultimate impact mitigation devices without relying on energy dissipation.

  • Particle-in-Cell Simulation of the Reflection of a Korteweg-de Vries Solitary Wave and an Envelope Solitary Wave at a Solid Boundary
    Chinese Physics Letters, 2016
    Co-Authors: Jie Zhang, Heng Zhang, Wen-shan Duan
    Abstract:

    Reflections of a Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) Solitary Wave and an envelope Solitary Wave are studied by using the particle-in-cell simulation method. Defining the phase shift of the reflected Solitary Wave, we notice that there is a phase shift of the reflected KdV Solitary Wave, while there is no phase shift for an envelope Solitary Wave. It is also noted that the reflection of a KdV Solitary Wave at a solid boundary is equivalent to the head-on collision between two identical amplitude Solitary Waves.

  • Head-on collision and overtaking collision between an envelope Solitary Wave and a KdV Solitary Wave in a dusty plasma.
    Scientific reports, 2016
    Co-Authors: Heng Zhang, Wen-shan Duan, Lei Yang
    Abstract:

    Head-on collision and overtaking collision between a KdV Solitary Wave and an envelope Solitary Wave are first studied in present paper by using Particle-in-cell (PIC) method in a dusty plasma. There are phase shifts of the KdV Solitary Wave in both head-on collision and the overtaking collision, while no phase shift is found for the envelop Solitary Wave in any cases. The remarkable difference between head-on collision and the overtaking collision is that the phase shift of KdV Solitary Wave increases as amplitude of KdV Solitary Wave increases in head-on collision, while it decreases as amplitude of the KdV Solitary Wave increases in the overtaking collision. It is found that the maximum amplitude during the collision process is less than sum of two amplitudes of both Solitary Waves, but is larger than either of the amplitude.

  • effects of damping Solitary Wave in a viscosity bounded plasma
    Physics of Plasmas, 2014
    Co-Authors: Xue Yang, Wen-shan Duan
    Abstract:

    In this paper, the propagation of Solitary Waves in a bounded plasma is theoretically investigated in terms of finite geometry. We employ the reductive perturbation theory to derive a quasi KdV equation, which characterizes the damping Solitary Wave in terms of kinematic viscosity coefficient ν′ and radius R. It is noted that the damping rate increases as ν′ increases or R decreases. We also observe the existence of damping Solitary Wave from the fact that its amplitude disappears rapidly for R→0 or ν′→+∞.

  • Solitary Wave Dynamics in an External Potential
    Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2004
    Co-Authors: Jürg Fröhlich, Stephen Gustafson, B. L. G. Jonsson, Israel Michael Sigal
    Abstract:

    We study the behavior of Solitary-Wave solutions of some generalized nonlinear Schrodinger equations with an external potential. The equations have the feature that in the absence of the external potential, they have solutions describing inertial motions of stable Solitary Waves. We consider solutions of the equations with a non-vanishing external potential corresponding to initial conditions close to one of these Solitary Wave solutions and show that, over a large interval of time, they describe a Solitary Wave whose center of mass motion is a solution of Newton’s equations of motion for a point particle in the given external potential, up to small corrections corresponding to radiation damping.

    Abstract:

    We study the behavior of Solitary-Wave solutions of some generalized nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations with an external potential.
