Using a combination of theory, experiment, and simulation, we revisit the dynamics of two coupled metronomes on a moving platform. Our experiments show that the platform's motion is damped by a dry friction force of Coulomb...
Complex Ginzburg–Landau (CGL) equations serve as canonical models in a great variety of physical settings, such as nonlinear photonics, dynamical phase transitions, superconductivity, superfluidity, hydrodynamics, plasmas,...
