Observations of breather solitons in a nonlinear vibratory lattice

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited === Experimental, numerical, and analytical investigations of steady-state upper cutoff breather solitons in a one-dimensional lattice of coupled nonlinear oscillators are reported. These states are self-localized standing wave structures that c...
