Oscillating vector solitary waves in soft laminates
Ron Ziv,

Abstract:Vector solitary waves are nonlinear waves of coupled polarizations that propagate with constant velocity and shape. In mechanics, they hold the potential to control locomotion, mitigate shocks and transfer information, among other functionalities. Recently, such elastic waves were numerically observed in compressible rubber-like laminates. Here, we conduct numerical experiments to characterize the possible vector solitary waves in these laminates, and expose a new type of waves whose amplitude and velocity osc… Show more
