Shock wave structure in a strongly nonlinear lattice with viscous dissipation
Shock wave structure in a strongly nonlinear lattice with viscous dissipation
The shock wave structure in a one-dimensional lattice (e.g., granular chain of elastic particles) with a power law dependence of force on displacement between particles (F proportional to delta(n)) with viscous dissipation is considered and compared to the corresponding long wave approximation. A dissipative term depending on the relative velocity …
