Interaction of highly nonlinear solitary waves with rigid polyurethane foams
International Journal of Solids and Structures, 2018 Abstract Experiments and simulations are performed to study the interaction of solitary waves in a granular crystal with a plastically compressible and rate-sensitive test medium in the form of rigid polyurethane (PU) foam. We study the effects of the foam's compressive strength and elastic modulus on the nonlinear wave dynamics near the interface ...

Wave Propagation in a Strongly Nonlinear Locally Resonant Granular Crystal
, 2017 In this work, we study the wave propagation in a recently proposed acoustic structure, the locally resonant granular crystal. This structure is composed of a one-dimensional granular crystal of hollow spherical particles in contact, containing linear ...

Strongly nonlinear waves in a chain of Teflon beads [PDF]
, 2005 One dimensional "sonic vacuum" type phononic crystals were assembled from a chain of Teflon spheres with different diameters in a Teflon holder. It was demonstrated for the first time that this polymer-based "sonic vacuum", with exceptionally low elastic

InfoMat, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.Thiophene‐embedded solid electrolyte interphase exhibits switchable polarity for uniform Li plating, and the electron‐rich cathode electrolyte interphase stabilizes high‐valence Ni ions in the cathode. These molecularly engineered interfacial layers enable fast cycling of lithium‐metal batteries for practical applications.

ChemPhysChem, Volume 27, Issue 7, 14 April 2026.The development of effective strategies for the detoxification of organophosphorus (OP) nerve agents has evolved from the early mechanistic studies of François Terrier and collaborators, who first elucidated the exceptional nucleophilicity of α‐effect species such as oximes and hydroxamates, to the modern design of supramolecular and material‐based ...

Do peaked solitary water waves indeed exist?
, 2013 Many models of shallow water waves admit peaked solitary waves. However, it is an open question whether or not the widely accepted peaked solitary waves can be derived from the fully nonlinear wave equations.

Tsunami generation by paddle motion and its interaction with a beach: Lagrangian modelling and experiment [PDF]
, 2013 A 2D Lagrangian numerical wave model is presented and validated against a set of physical wave-flume experiments on interaction of tsunami waves with a sloping beach. An iterative methodology is proposed and applied for experimental generation of tsunami-

ChemPhotoChem, Volume 10, Issue 4, April 2026.This review connects chiroptical spectroscopy, asymmetric catalysis, and spintronics, revealing how chirality influences the interactions of matter with light, charge, and spin. Across diverse systems, remarkable chiroptical effects emerge, showing among others that high efficiencies can arise without absolute enantiopurity, and that functionality is ...
