Model for Dissipative Highly Nonlinear Waves in Dry Granular Systems
Model for Dissipative Highly Nonlinear Waves in Dry Granular Systems
A model is presented for the characterization of dissipative effects on highly nonlinear waves in one-dimensional dry granular media. The model includes three terms: Hertzian, viscoelastic, and a term proportional to the square of the relative velocity of particles. The model outcomes are confronted with different experiments where the granular …
