We consider a chain of monodisperse elastic grains of radius R where the grains are barely in contact. The grains repel upon contact via the Hertz-type potential, Vproportional todelta(n), n>2, where deltagreater than or equal to0, is the grain-grain overlap, deltaequivalent to2R-(u(i+1)-u(i)), where u(i) denotes the displacement of grain i from its original equilibrium position. This being a computational study, we consider n to be arbitrary. Our dynamical simulations build on several earlier studies by Nesterenko, Coste, and Sen and co-workers that have shown that an impulse propagates as a solitary wave of fixed spatial extent, infinity
