Pulse Dynamics in a Chain of Granules With Friction
arXiv:cond-mat/0307080 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.68.041304
Abstract
We study the dynamics of a pulse in a chain of granules with friction. We present theories for chains of cylindrical granules (Hertz potential with exponent $n=2$) and of granules with other geometries ($n>2$). Our results are supported via numerical simulations for cylindrical and for spherical granules ($n=5/2$).
