Hysteresis loops and multi-stability: From periodic orbits to chaotic dynamics (and back) in diatomic granular crystals
In the present work we consider a diatomic granular crystal, consisting of alternating aluminum and steel spheres, where the first sphere is an aluminum one. The combination of dissipation, driving of the boundary, and intrinsic nonlinearity leads to complex dynamics. Specifically, we find that the interplay of nonlinear surface modes …
