Pulse propagation in granular chains
Abstract
In this comprehensive review we present, discuss, and compare a number of theoretical approaches to the propagation of impulses in granular chains found in the literature, emphasizing the strengths and weaknesses of each. Experimental and numerical results are compared, and common features of the dynamics of pulse propagation for distinct chain setups are highlighted.
