We analyze nonlinear oscillations and waves in a simple model of a granular medium containing inclusions in the form of fluid layers and gas cavities. We show that in such a medium, the velocity of one of the wave modes is low; therefore, the nonlinearity is high and the effects of interaction are more strongly expressed than usual.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
