We numerically solve the propagation of a shock wave in a chain of elastic beads with no restoring forces under traction (no-tension elasticity). We find a sequence of peaks of decreasing amplitude and velocity. Analyzing the main peak at different times we confirm a recently proposed scaling law for its decay.

Abstract
We numerically solve the propagation of a shock wave in a chain of elastic beads with no restoring forces under traction (no-tension elasticity). We find a sequence of peaks of decreasing amplitude and velocity. Analyzing the main peak at different times we confirm a recently proposed scaling law for its decay.File allegati a questo prodotto
