Abstract:
A method to manipulate intrinsic localized mode (ILM) is numerically discussed in a nonlinear coupled oscillator array, which is obtained by modeling a microcantilever array. Prior to the manipulation, coexistence and dynamical stability of standing ILMs are first investigated. The stability of coexisting ILMs is determined by a nonlinear coupling coefficient of the array. In addition, the global phase structure, which dominates traveling ILMs, is also changed with the stability. It makes possible to manipulate a traveling ILM by adjusting the nonlinear coupling coefficient. The capture and release manipulation of the traveling ILM is shown numerically.
