Discrete Breathers in One- and Two-Dimensional Mechanical Lattices

In this thesis, we investigate discrete breathers in nonlinear mechanical lattices through numerical and asymptotic methods. First, in a one-dimensional mass-in-mass Fermi–Pasta–Ulam–Tsingou (FPUT) chain with internal oscillators, we identify stable stationary breathers and long-lived weakly unstabl...
