Abstract In this paper, the governing equation in a pre-compressed one-dimensional granular crystal, which was previously discussed by Nesterenko [J. Appl. Mech. Phys. 24, 733 (1983)], is solved analytically. Multiple solitary wave solutions are obtained by using the homogeneous balance principle and Hirota’s bilinear method. We analyze the difference between the original system and the KdV system and examine the collision of solitary waves in some special parameters. The dynamic behavior and stability of the double solitary waves are also studied. We find that the opposite collision between single solitary waves may be stable and thus generate a stable double solitary wave. It is concluded that the collision is a special stable double solitary wave solution. We further propose a possible way to determine the stability of multiple solitary waves qualitatively.

In this paper, the [Formula: see text]-solitary wave solution to the (2[Formula: see text]+[Formula: see text]1)-dimensional potential Kadomstev–Petviashvili (PKP) equation is obtained with the Hirota bilinear method. Via the limit technique of long wave, the [Formula: see text]-lump solution can be derived from resulting [Formula: see text]-solitary wave solution. In addition, interactional solutions consisting of lumps and solitary waves for the PKP equation are obtained, which can describe elastic interactions of lumps and solitary waves. These results are illustrated by graphics of several sample examples.

The strongly nonlinear long-wave model for large amplitude internal waves in a two-layer system is regularized to eliminate shear instability due to the wave-induced velocity jump across the interface. The model is written in terms of the horizontal velocities evaluated at the top and bottom boundaries instead of the depth-averaged velocities, and it is shown through local stability analysis that internal solitary waves are locally stable to perturbations of arbitrary wavelengths if the wave amplitudes are smaller than a critical value. For a wide range of depth and density ratios pertinent to oceanic conditions, the critical wave amplitude is close to the maximum wave amplitude and the regularized model is therefore expected to be applicable to the strongly nonlinear regime. The regularized model is solved numerically using a finite-difference method and its numerical solutions support the results of our linear stability analysis. It is also shown that the solitary wave solution of the regularized model, found numerically using a time-dependent numerical model, is close to the solitary wave solution of the original model, confirming that the two models are asymptotically equivalent.

In this paper, we investigate a [Formula: see text]-dimensional B-type Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (BKP) equation, which is a generalization of the [Formula: see text]-dimensional equation. Based on the Hirota bilinear method and the limit technique of long wave, we systematically construct a family of exact solutions of BKP equation including the [Formula: see text]-solitary wave solution, lump solution as well as interaction solution between lump waves and solitary waves.

Experimental results are reported on non-stationary evolution and interactions of waves forming on water and water–glycerol solution flowing along an inclined plane. A nonlinear wave generation process leads to a large number of solitary humps with a wide variety of sizes. A uorescence imaging method is applied to capture the evolution of film height in space and time with accuracy of a few microns. Coalescence – the inelastic interaction of solitary waves resulting in a single hump – is found to proceed at a timescale correlated to the difference in height between the interacting waves. The correlation indicates that waves of similar height do not merge. Transient phenomena accompanying coalescence are reported. The front-running ripples recede during coalescence, only to reappear when the new hump recovers its teardrop shape. The tail of the resulting solitary wave develops an elevated substrate relative to the front, which decays exponentially in time; both observations about the tail confirm theoretical predictions. In experiments with water, the elevated back substrate is unstable, yielding to a tail oscillation with wavelength similar to that of the front-running ripples. This instability plays a key role in two complex interaction phenomena observed: the nucleation of a new crest between two interacting solitary humps and the splitting of a large hump (that has grown through multiple coalescence events) into solitary waves of similar size.

© 2018 Elsevier B.V. This paper is concerned with the study, by computational means, of the generation and stability of solitary-wave solutions of generalized versions of the Benjamin equation. The numerical generation of the solitary-wave profiles is accurately performed with a modified Petviashvili method which includes extrapolation to accelerate the convergence. In order to study the dynamics of the solitary waves the equations are discretized in space with a Fourier pseudospectral collocation method and a fourth-order, diagonally implicit Runge–Kutta method of composition type as time-stepping integrator. The stability of the waves is numerically studied by performing experiments with small and large perturbations of the solitary pulses as well as interactions of solitary waves.

Abstract The paper deals with the studies of the nonlinear wave solutions supported by the modified FitzHugh–Nagumo (mFHN) system. It was proved in our previous work that the model, under certain conditions, possesses a set of soliton-like traveling wave (TW) solutions. In this paper, we show that the model has two solutions of the soliton type differing in propagation velocity. Their location in parametric space, and stability properties are considered in more details. Numerical results accompanied by the application of the Evans function technique prove the stability of fast solitary waves and instability of slow ones. A possible way of formation and annihilation of localized regimes in question is studied therein too.

Abstract In this paper, a nondestructive evaluation technique based on highly nonlinear solitary waves (HNSWs) is proposed to monitor the curing process of adhesive for composite/metal bonded structure. HNSWs are mechanical waves with high energy intensity and non-distortive nature which can form and propagate in a nonlinear system, such as a one-dimensional granular chain. In the present study, a finite element model of the one-dimensional granular chain is established with the commercial software Abaqus, to study the reflection behavior of HNSWs at the interface between the particle at the end of chain and the sample. The simulation results show that the time of flight (TOF) of the primary reflected solitary wave decreases with the stiffness of the sample increases, and the amplitude ratio (AR) between the primary reflected solitary wave and the incident solitary wave increases. An HNSWs transducer based on the one-dimensional granular chain is designed and fabricated. The relationship between the characteristic parameters of the primary reflected solitary wave (TOF and AR) and the curing time of adhesive for a composite/metal bonded structure is experimentally investigated. The experiment results suggest that the TOF decreases and the AR increases as the epoxy cures. The experimental results are in good agreement with the simulation results. This study provides a new characterization method for monitoring the curing process of adhesive for composite/metal bonded structure.

The complexity of engineering systems is continuously increasing, resulting in mathematical models that become more and more computationally expensive. Furthermore, in model based design, for example, system parameters are subject of change, and therefore, the system equations have to be evaluated repeatedly. Hence, there is a need for providing reduced models which are as compact as possible, but still reflect the properties of the original model in a satisfactory manner. In this contribution, the reduction of differential equations with time-periodic coefficients, termed as parametrically excited systems, is investigated using the method of Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD). A reduced model is set up based on the solution of the original system for a certain parametric combination resonance of the difference type, resulting in an additional stability margin of the trivial solution. It is shown that the POD reduced model approximates the stability behavior of the original system much better than a modally reduced model even if system parameters are subject of change.
