An application of nonlinear supratransmission to the propagation of binary signals in weakly damped, mechanical systems of coupled oscillators
This work applies a recently discovered nonlinear phenomenon to a specific mechanical system for binary signal transmission, representing an incremental step in the field.
The authors simulate binary signal propagation in mechanical oscillator chains using nonlinear supratransmission, demonstrating efficient and reliable information transmission with a new energy-invariant computational technique.
In the present article, we simulate the propagation of binary signals in semi-infinite, mechanical chains of coupled oscillators harmonically driven at the end, by making use of the recently discovered process of nonlinear supratransmission. Our numerical results ---which are based on a brand-new computational technique with energy-invariant properties--- show an efficient and reliable transmission of information.
