Abstract

We review recent work on the dynamical behavior of coupled resistively-shunted Josephson junctions, with emphasis on our own calculations. We present a model which allows for the inclusion of finite temperature, disorder, d.c. and a. c. applied currents, and applied magnetic fields. We discuss applications to (a) calculations of critical currents and IV characteristics; (b) harmonic generation and microwave absorption by finite clusters of Josephson junctions; (c) critical energies for vortex depinning; and (d) quantized voltage plateaus in arrays subjected to combined d.c. and a. c. currents. Possible connections to the behavior of granular high-temperature superconductors are briefly discussed.
