Dispersion curves of electromagnetically actuated nonlinear monoatomic and mass-in-mass lattice chains

Including nonlinearity can lead to fascinating wave propagation behavior in phononic crystals, broadening their possible applications in acoustic engineering. The current work aims to benefit from the exclusive properties of nonlinear chains, on one hand, and electromagnetic actuation, on the other hand, to actively control and deliberately manipulate propagating waves in monoatomic and mass-in-mass chains. First, the governing equations are...
