We systematically study linear and nonlinear wave propagation in a chain composed of piecewise-linear bistable springs. Such bistable systems are ideal test beds for supporting nonlinear wave dynamical features including transition and (supersonic) solitary waves. We show that bistable chains can support the propagation of subsonic wave packets which in turn can be trapped by a low-energy phase to induce energy localization. The spatial distribution of these energy foci strongly affects the propagation of linear waves, typically causing scattering, but, in special cases, leading to a reflectionless mode analogous to the Ramsauer-Townsend effect. Furthermore, we show that the propagation of nonlinear waves can spontaneously generate or remove additional foci, which act as effective “impurities.” This behavior serves as a new mechanism for reversibly programming the dynamic response of bistable chains.
