Solitary waves in FPU-type lattices

A Vainchtein - Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, 2022 - Elsevier
Lattice solitary traveling waves are nonlinear coherent structures that describe fundamental
mechanisms of energy transport and signal transmission in many physical settings. This …

When discrete fronts and pulses form a single family: FPU chain with hardening-softening springs

A Vainchtein, L Truskinovsky - Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, 2024 - Elsevier
We consider a version of the classical Hamiltonian FPU (Fermi–Pasta–Ulam) problem with
nonlinear force-strain relation in which a hardening response is taken over by a softening …

[HTML][HTML] Observation of kinked soliton structure in realistic materials through wave packet simulations

P Jiang, N Li, J Chen - Physics Letters A, 2022 - Elsevier
In this work, we report the observation of a kinked structure in single-layer graphene through
phonon wave packet simulations. The observed kinked structure agrees very well with the …

Transition fronts and their universality classes

N Gorbushin, A Vainchtein, L Truskinovsky - Physical Review E, 2022 - APS
Steadily moving transition (switching) fronts, associated with local transformation, symmetry
breaking, or collapse, are among the most important dynamic coherent structures. The …

Solitary waves and kinks in FPU lattices with soft-hard-soft trilinear interactions

A Vainchtein, L Truskinovsky - arXiv preprint arXiv:2406.06437, 2024 - arxiv.org
We consider a version of the classical Hamiltonian Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) problem with a
trilinear force-strain relation of soft-hard-soft type that is in general non-symmetric. In …

Long-Time approximations of small-amplitude, long-wavelength FPUT solutions

T Norton, CE Wayne - arXiv preprint arXiv:2306.14999, 2023 - arxiv.org
It is well known that the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation and its generalizations serve as
modulation equations for traveling wave solutions to generic Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou …

Universality classes of transition fronts in the FPU model

N Gorbushin, A Vainchtein, L Truskinovsky - 2021 - hal.science
Steady transition fronts in nonlinear lattices are among the most important dynamic coherent
structures. We use the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam model with piecewise linear nonlinearity to show …
