Localization and Delocalization in One-Dimensional Dynamic Systems
Wednesday, November 6, 1996 4:00 p.m. Joe Dickey The Johns Hopkins University Mechanical structures with reasonably periodic variations in impedance may exhibit wave localization similar to Anderson localization in atomic systems. Several such systems have been investigated by the authors: a beaded string, membranes and plates with periodic stiffeners attached, and a “jungle gym” All…
