Analysis and Optimization of Stress Wave Propagation in Two-Dimensional Granular Crystals with Defects
Granular crystals are compact periodic assemblies of elastic particles in Hertzian contact whose dynamic response can be tuned from strongly nonlinear to linear by the addition of a static precompression force. This unique feature allows for a wide range of studies that include the investigation of...
