The extension of collision models for single impacts between two bodies, to the case of
multiple impacts (which take place when several collisions occur at the same time in a …

The aim of this paper is to simulate the nonlinear wave propagation in granular chains of
beads using a recently introduced multiple impact model and to compare numerical results …

The role of dissipation on wave shape and attenuation in dry and saturated granular chains
is considered experimentally and numerically. The wave dynamics in these chains includes …

Elastic granular dimer chains (defined as arrays of repeating dissimilar material granule
pairs) have shown promise for wave mitigation applications since it has been observed that …

An experimental investigation was conducted to study the dependence of packing geometry
on the dynamic load transfer in two dimensional granular aggregate chains. The granular …

We study momentum and energy propagation in 1D tapered chains of spherical granules
which interact according to a Hertz potential. In this work we apply the binary collision …

For short duration impulse loadings, elastic granular chains are known to support solitary
waves, while elastoplastic chains have recently been shown to exhibit two force decay …

In this comprehensive review we present, discuss, and compare a number of theoretical
approaches to the propagation of impulses in granular chains found in the literature …

The strong interactions between particles will make the energy within the granular materials
propagate through the network of contacts and be partly dissipated. Establishing a model …

The impact-induced wave propagation in a model granular material composed of closely
packed linearly elastic spherical particles interacting through Hertzian contact is investigated …
