Reflection of a longitudinal strain soliton from the end face of a nonlinearly elastic rod

Reflection of a solitary longitudinal strain wave (soliton) from the end face of a nonlinearly elastic rod is investigated theoretically and experimentally. It is shown that the wave reflected from the free end of the rod has a reversed amplitude sign, which results in dispersion of the wave. If the end of the rod is fixed, the reflected wave retains its polarity and properties of the incident solitary wave and propagates back to the input end.     

Solitary wave emission from a non-linear waveguide with a PTS cladding

We present numerical simulations of solitary wave emission from a waveguide in which the cladding is the non-linear material polydiacetylene para-toluene sulfphonate (PTS). In addition to a self-focusing cubic non-linearity PTS exhibits a defocusing quintic non- linearity, which imposes a limit on the peak non-linear index change. The influence of this limiting on solitary wave emission is studied in detail in one transverse dimension, and we show that it can increase the fraction of the incident power transferred into the emitted solitary wave. Fabrication issues arising from the limiting are also discussed. Numerical simulations in two transverse dimensions are also presented showing stable emitted solitary waves due to the stabilizing effect of the limiting, in contrast to the self-focusing collapse which occurs for a cubic non-linearity.     

高斯光束孤波演化过程中的自偏转

研究了无耗晶体的扩散效应对高斯光束在光伏光折变晶体中孤波演化特性的影响。结果表明，对于给定的与晶体参量匹配的高斯光束，晶体的扩散效应将造成高斯光束孤波演化的自偏转，而且其自偏转过程与同参量的屏蔽光伏明孤子的自偏转过程具有极其类似的特征。同时发现，高斯光束的波形即光束的横截面对其孤波演化的自偏转影响最大。比较了高斯光束孤波演化的自偏转与明孤波自偏转的理论曲线，结果表明，对于匹配的高斯光束，其自偏转程度与解析计算结果非常接近。     

Binary collision approximation for solitary waves in a Y-shaped granular chain

We implement a binary collision approximation to study solitary wave propagation in a two-dimensional double Y-shaped granular chain. The solitary wave was transmitted and reflected when it met the interface of the bifurcated branches of the Y-shaped granular chains. We obtain the analytic results of the ratios of the transmitted and reflected speeds to the incident speed of the solitary wave, the maximum force between the two neighbor beads in a solitary wave, and the total time taken by the pulse to pass through each branch. All of the analytic results are in good agreement with the experimental observations from Daraio et al. [Phys. Rev. E 82 036603 (2010)]. Moreover, we also discuss the delay effects on the arrival of split pulses, and predict the recombination of the split waves traveling in branches in the final stem of asymmetric systems. The prediction of pulse recombination is verified by our numerical results.     

Bright matter-wave soliton collisions in a harmonic trap: regular and chaotic dynamics

Collisions between bright solitary waves in the 1D Gross-Pitaevskii equation with a harmonic potential, which models a trapped atomic Bose-Einstein condensate, are investigated theoretically. A particle analogy for the solitary waves is formulated and shown to be integrable for a two-particle system. The extension to three particles is shown to support chaotic regimes. Good agreement is found between the particle model and simulations of the full wave dynamics, suggesting that the dynamics can be described in terms of solitons both in regular and chaotic regimes, presenting a paradigm for chaos in wave mechanics.     

Interfacial waves with free-surface boundary conditions: an approach via a model equation

In a two-fluid system where the lower fluid is bounded below by a rigid bottom and the upper fluid is bounded above by a free surface, two kinds of solitary waves can propagate along the interface and the free surface: classical solitary waves characterized by a solitary pulse or generalized solitary waves with nondecaying oscillations in their tails in addition to the solitary pulse. The classical solitary waves move faster than the generalized solitary waves. The origin of the nonlocal solitary waves can be understood from a physical point of view. The dispersion relation for the above system shows that short waves can propagate at the same speed as a “slow” solitary wave. The interaction between the solitary wave and the short waves creates a nonlocal solitary wave. In this paper, the interfacial-wave problem is reduced to a system of ordinary differential equations by using a classical perturbation method, which takes into consideration the possible resonance between short waves and “slow” solitary waves. In the past, classical Korteweg–de Vries type models have been derived but cannot deal with the resonance. All solutions of the new system of model equations, including classical as well as generalized solitary waves, are constructed. The domain of validity of the model is discussed as well. It is also shown that fronts connecting two conjugate states cannot occur for “fast” waves. For “slow” waves, fronts exist but they have ripples in their tails.     

Some New Solitary Wave Solutions to a Compound KdV-Burgers Equation

In terms of the solutions of an auxiliary ordinary differential equation, a new algebraic method, which contains the terms of first-order derivative of functions f(ξ), is constructed to explore the new solitary wave solutions for nonlinear evolution equations. The method is applied to a compound KdV-Burgers equation, and abundant new solitary wave solutions are obtained. The algorithm is also applicable to a large variety of nonlinear evolution equations.     

Solitary wave solution to a singularly perturbed generalized Gardner equation with nonlinear terms of any order

This paper is concerned with the existence of travelling wave solutions to a singularly perturbed generalized Gardner equation with nonlinear terms of any order. By using geometric singular perturbation theory and based on the relation between solitary wave solution and homoclinic orbits of the associated ordinary differential equations, the persistence of solitary wave solutions of this equation is proved when the perturbation parameter is sufficiently small. The numerical simulations verify our theoretical analysis.     

Complex Wave Excitations in Generalized Broer-Kaup System

Starting from an improved projective method and a linear variable separation approach, new families of variable separation solutions （including solltary wave solutlons, periodic wave solutions and rational function solutions） with arbitrary functions [or the （2＋ 1）-dimensional general/zed Broer-Kaup （GBK） system are derived. Usually, in terms of solitary wave solutions and/or rational function solutions, one can find abundant important localized excitations. However, based on the derived periodic wave solution in this paper, we reveal some complex wave excitations in the （2＋1）-dimensional GBK system, which describe solitons moving on a periodic wave background. Some interesting evolutional properties for these solitary waves propagating on the periodic wave bactground are also briefly discussed.     

The Klein–Gordon–Zakharov equations with the positive fractional power terms and their exact solutions

In this paper, the famous Klein–Gordon–Zakharov (KGZ) equations are first generalized, and the new special types of KGZ equations with the positive fractional power terms (gKGZE) are presented. In order to derive exact solutions of the new special gKGZE, subsidiary higher-order ordinary differential equations (sub-ODEs) with the positive fractional power terms are introduced, and with the aid of the sub-ODE, exact solutions of four special types of the gKGZE are derived, which are the bell-type solitary wave solution, the algebraic solitary wave solution, the kink-type solitary wave solution and the sinusoidal travelling wave solution, provided that the coefficients of gKGZE satisfy certain constraint conditions.     

Stability Analysis of Solitary Wave Solutions for Coupled and(2+1)-Dimensional Cubic Klein-Gordon Equations and Their Applications

The searching exact solutions in the solitary wave form of non-linear partial differential equations(PDEs play a significant role to understand the internal mechanism of complex physical phenomena. In this paper, we employ the proposed modified extended mapping method for constructing the exact solitary wave and soliton solutions of coupled Klein-Gordon equations and the(2+1)-dimensional cubic Klein-Gordon(K-G) equation. The Klein-Gordon equation are relativistic version of Schr¨odinger equations, which describe the relation of relativistic energy-momentum in the form of quantized version. We productively achieve exact solutions involving parameters such as dark and bright solitary waves, Kink solitary wave, anti-Kink solitary wave, periodic solitary waves, and hyperbolic functions in which severa solutions are novel. We plot the three-dimensional surface of some obtained solutions in this study. It is recognized that the modified mapping technique presents a more prestigious mathematical tool for acquiring analytical solutions o PDEs arise in mathematical physics.     

Solitary Wave and Wave Front as Viewed From Curvature

The solitary wave and wave front are two important behaviors of nonlinear evolution equations. Geometrically, solitary wave and wave front are all plane curve. In this paper, they can be represented in terms of curvature c(s), which varies with arc length s. For solitary wave when s → ±∞, then its curvature c(s) approaches zero, and when s=0, the curvature c(s) reaches its maximum. For wave front, when s → ±∞, then its curvature c(s) approaches zero, and when s=0, the curvature c(s) is still zero, but c'(s) ≠ 0. That is, s=0 is a turning point. When c(s) is given, the variance at some point (x,y) in stream line with arc length s satisfies a 2-order linear variable-coefficient ordinary differential equation. From this equation, it can be determined qualitatively whether the given curvature is a solitary wave or wave front.     

Experimental study of a smart foam sound absorber

This article presents the experimental implementation and results of a hybrid passive/active absorber (smart foam) made up from the combination of a passive absorbent (foam) and a curved polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) film actuator bonded to the rear surface of the foam. Various smart foam prototypes were built and tested in active absorption experiments conducted in an impedance tube under plane wave propagation condition at frequencies between 100 and 1500 Hz. Three control cases were tested. The first case used a fixed controller derived in the frequency domain from estimations of the primary disturbance at a directive microphone position in the tube and the transfer function between the control PVDF and the directive microphone. The two other cases used an adaptive time-domain feedforward controller to absorb either a single-frequency incident wave or a broadband incident wave. The non-linearity of the smart foams and the causality constraint were identified to be important factors influencing active control performance. The effectiveness of the various smart foam prototypes is discussed in terms of the active and passive absorption coefficients as well as the control voltage of the PVDF actuator normalized by the incident sound pressure.     

Lie Group of Transformations for a KdV–Boussinesq Equation

We consider a combined Korteweg–deVries and Boussinesq equation governing long surface waves in shallow water. Considering traveling wave solutions, the basic equations will be reduced to a second order ordinary differential equation. Using the Lie group of transformations we reduce it to a first order ordinary differential equation and employ a direct method to derive its periodic solutions in terms of Jacobian elliptic functions and their corresponding solitary wave and explode decay mode solutions.     

畸形波电磁散射特性分析及其特征识别标识的研究

针对弱非线性的Longuet-Higgins模型在模拟强非线性畸形波海面时所存在的问题,采用修正的相位调制法模拟一维畸形波时间、空间波面,该方法能够实现畸形波的定时定点生成,并且其波形既能保持目标谱的频谱结构,又能较大程度地满足波浪序列的统计特性.同时,基于改进的双尺度(TSM)法及时域有限差分法建立畸形波的电磁散射模型,经过相对平均偏差和均方根偏差误差分析后,基于TSM法研究分析了畸形波及其背景海面波的归一化雷达散射截面(NRCS)的计算结果.实验表明,合成孔径雷达成像中畸形波的NRCS比背景波要小,即畸形波的合成孔径雷达图像成像比背景波要灰暗,因此可以将NRCS作为畸形波的特征识别标识.通过分析研究不同极化方式、入射角、入射频率条件下畸形波与背景波面的电磁散射特性实验数据得出:当二者的NRCS差值大于-11.8 dB及以上时,即认为产生畸形波,这为实际的工程应用提供了参照标准.     

Femtosecond pulse laser-induced self-organized nanogratings on the surface of a ZnSe crystal

Periodic nanostructures are observed on the surface of ZnSe after irradiation by a focused beam of a femtosecond Ti:sapphire laser, which are aligned perpendicular to the laser polarization direction. The period of self-organized grating structures is about 160 nm. The phenomenon is interpreted in terms of interference between the incident light field and the surface scattered wave of 800-nm laser pulses. With the laser polarization parallel to the moving direction we produce long-range Bragg-like gratings by slowly moving the crystal under a fixed laser focus. The nanograting orientation is adjusted by laser polarization and the accumulation effect. PACS 81.16.Rf; 78.67.-n; 33.80.Rv; 82.53.Mj; 81.16.-c     

梯度特异材料表面对入射高斯光束的反射研究

最近人们[1-3]提出了一类反射式梯度特异材料表面系统,此系统可以高效地将入射波转换成被束缚于材料表面的表面波,这个系统成为连接行波和表面波的一座桥梁。以往人们研究梯度特异材料表面的反射特性时多是以入射平面波为主,这里我们结合实际,以入射的高斯光束作为研究对象,讨论梯度特异材料表面对其的反射特性,尤其是高斯光束的主入射角和束腰对反射行为的影响,得到了与平面波入射不同的反射现象。对于临界角为17.2°的梯度特异材料表面,束腰为4的高斯光束以主入射角分别为0°、10°、30°入射时,我们发现随着主入射角的变大,入射高斯光束转变为表面波的比例增大;而固定主入射角为30°,我们通过改变束腰,发现束腰越大,波矢分布越窄,越接近于平面波,转变为表面波的效率就越高。在数值模拟中,反射光束出现了明显的Goos-Hansen位移现象。同时还出现了类似光栅反射的特点,即分叉现象,这是由于模拟计算时网格不能无限小,梯度特异材料表面不能模拟为折射率连续变化的材料而应该是阶跃式变化的材料。由于实际制备的梯度特异材料表面是人工微结构的排列,因此微小的阶跃式变化的梯度特异材料表面更为实际。我们的工作对于利用梯度特异材料表面将入射高斯光束转变为表面波具有指导意义。     

The run-up of nonlinearly deformed sea waves on the coast of a bay with a parabolic cross-section

The run-up of long waves on the coast of a bay with a parabolic cross-section, where the region of constant depth along the principal axis of the bay is connected with the linearly inclined segment, is considered. The study is carried out analytically in the framework of the nonlinear shallow-water theory under the approximation that the height of the initial wave is small compared to the basin depth, and the reflection from the inflection point of the bottom is negligibly small. Three types of incident waves, viz., a sinusoidal wave and solitary waves of positive and negative polarities, are considered in detail. It is shown that a sinusoidal wave undergoes nonlinear deformation at a segment of constant depth faster than solitary waves of positive and negative polarities. Solitary waves of negative polarity steepen somewhat faster than solitary waves of positive polarity. Waves of positive polarity steepen at wave front, while waves of negative polarity steepen at wave rear. These differences in steepness may become crucial at the wave run-up stage, since the wave run-up height on the coast of a bay with a parabolic cross-section is directly proportional to the steepness of a wave that arrives at the slope and can lead to the anomalous run-up of waves on the coast.     

Arbitrary linear THz wave polarization converter with cracked cross meta-surface

This Letter presents a double-layer structure combining a cracked cross meta-surface and grating surface to realize arbitrary incident linear terahertz(THz) wave polarization conversion. The arbitrary incident linear polarization THz wave will be induced with the same resonant modes in the unit cell, which results in polarization conversion insensitive to the linear polarization angle. Moreover, the zigzag-shaped resonant surface current leads to a strong magnetic resonance between the meta-surface and gratings, which enhances the conversion efficiency. The experimental results show that a more than 70% conversion rate can be achieved under arbitrary linear polarization within a wide frequency band. Moreover, around 0.89 THz nearly perfect polarization conversion is realized.
