Propagation of elastic solitons in chains of pre-deformed beams

Propagation of elastic solitons in chains of pre-deformed beams

We use a combination of experiments, numerical analysis and theory to investigate the nonlinear dynamic response of a chain of precompressed elastic beams. Our results show that this simple system offers a rich platform to study the propagation of large amplitude waves. Compression waves are strongl...
