Emergent limit cycles, chaos, and bistability in driven-dissipative atomic arrays by Victoria Zhang, Stefan Ostermann, Oriol Rubies-Bigorda, Susanne F. Yelin

“…For finite size periodic arrays, however, we find that the mean-field dynamics of the many-body system also exhibit limit cycles and chaotic behavior. Notably, the emergence of chaotic dynamics does not rely on the randomness of an external control parameter but arises solely due to the interplay of coherent drive and dissipation.…”

Elastic Module Study of the Radial Section of Guadua angustifolia Kunth Variety Bicolor by J. I. Cardenas, C. Vargas-Hernández

“…The results indicate that the elastic modulus and the propagation velocity of the longitudinal wave in each of the cross-sections varied from 2.5×107 to 1.6×109 Pa and from 1370 to 250 m/s for the inside and outside region of the culm, respectively. This behavior is due to the inhomogeneity, the water concentration, the fiber density, and the silicon concentration. …”
