Book Description
This book summarizes a number of fundamental developments at the interface of granular crystals and the mathematical and computational analysis of some of their key localized nonlinear wave solutions. The subject presents a blend of the appeal of granular crystals as a prototypical engineering tested for a variety of diverse applications, the novelty in the nonlinear physics of its coherent structures, and the tractability of a series of mathematical and computational techniques to analyse them. While the focus is on principal one-dimensional solutions such as shock waves, traveling waves, and discrete breathers, numerous extensions of the discussed patterns, e.g., in two dimensions, chains with defects, heterogeneous settings, and other recent developments are discussed. The emphasis on the subject was motivated by models in condensed matter physics, ferroelectrics, high energy physics, and statistical mechanics, leading to developments in mathematical analysis, numerical computation and insights on the physical aspects of the model. The book appeals to researchers in the field, as well as for graduate and advanced undergraduate students. It will be of interest to mathematicians, physicists and engineers alike.

Coherent Structures in Complex Systems
Author: D. Reguera
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3540446982
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 466
Book Description
A rich variety of real-life physical problems which are still poorly understood are of a nonlinear nature. Examples include turbulence, granular flows, detonations and flame propagation, fracture dynamics, and a wealth of new biological and chemical phenomena which are being discovered. Particularly interesting among the manifestations of nonlinearity are coherent structures. This book contains reviews and contributions reporting on the state of the art regarding the role of coherent structures and patterns in nonlinear science.

The Structures of Crystals
Author: A.M Glazer
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 9780852748251
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
The crystalline state is the most stable form of all solids and is very common in nature. This book discusses the structure of crystals and the ways in which they are described. The basic ideas of symmetry are introduced first. The lattice types which are possible are then examined and this leads to the fourteen Bravais lattices. There follows a careful treatment of the convolution operation and its applications to crystals and the calculation of Fourier transforms. These ideas allow crystal structure to be determined from the results of diffraction experiments. The effects of the thermal vibration of atoms and finite crystal size on these experiments is also explained. Throughout the text the emphasis is on understanding the results rather than on rigorous proofs.

Acoustic Metamaterials and Phononic Crystals
Author: Pierre A. Deymier
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642312322
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
This comprehensive book presents all aspects of acoustic metamaterials and phononic crystals. The emphasis is on acoustic wave propagation phenomena at interfaces such as refraction, especially unusual refractive properties and negative refraction. A thorough discussion of the mechanisms leading to such refractive phenomena includes local resonances in metamaterials and scattering in phononic crystals.
