A machine learning architecture for including wave breaking in envelope-type wave models

Wave breaking is a complex physical process about which open questions remain. For some applications, it is critical to include breaking effects in phase-resolved envelope-based wave models such as the non-linear Schr & ouml;dinger. A promising approach is ...

Soliton gas: Theory, numerics, and experiments

The concept of soliton gas was introduced in 1971 by Zakharov as an infinite collection of weakly interacting solitons in the framework of Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. In this theoretical construction of a diluted (rarefied) soliton gas, solitons with ...

Optimization of elastic wave propagation in a reconfigurable medium by genetic algorithms with adaptive mutation probability

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Janez Rus

We introduce a reconfigurable medium for the manipulation of elastic propagation properties of Lamb waves. It is based on a shape memory polymer (SMP) with temperature-dependent Young's modulus. Waves are excited by a laser pulse and detected by a laser vi ...

Vibrational NDT with Under-sampled Data through Physics-informed Neural Networks

Olga Fink

The vibrational response of solid materials and structural components is substantially governed by their mechanical and geometrical properties. Low-frequency vibrations and modal frequencies are sensitive to global geometrical deviations, while high-freque ...

Nonlocally-resonant metamaterials

Aleksi Antoine Bossart

In this thesis, we unveil a third design path to manipulate elastic waves within architected media, distinct from the traditional phononic crystal and locally-resonant metamaterial concepts. The core innovation lies in the concept of nonlocal resonances, d ...

Temporal Prediction of Landslide-Generated Waves Using a Theoretical-Statistical Combined Method

Christophe Ancey, Zhenzhu Meng, Yating Hu

For the prediction of landslide-generated waves, previous studies have developed numerous empirical equations to express the maximums of wave characteristics as functions of slide parameters upon impact. In this study, we built the temporal relationship be ...
