...Hoda Jalali; Piervincenzo Rizzo A nondestructive evaluation (NDE) technique based on highly nonlinear solitary waves (HNSWs) has been developed recently by a few groups worldwide. The technique is based on the propagation and detection of these waves along a one-dimensional monoperiodic array...

...Amir Nasrollahi; Piervincenzo Rizzo This article presents a numerical formulation and the experimental validation of the dynamic interaction between highly nonlinear solitary waves generated along a mono-periodic array of spherical particles and rails in a point contact with the array. A general...

... to perform it is not readily available to the average consumer. In the study presented in this paper, an empirical method based on the propagation of highly nonlinear solitary waves (HNSWs) is proposed to establish whether a given ball conforms the specifications set by the ITF in terms of bounciness...
