Phononic crystals (PCs) and metamaterials (MMs) can exhibit abnormal properties, even far
beyond those found in nature, through artificial design of the topology or ordered structure of …

The study of phononic materials and structures is an emerging discipline that lies at the
crossroads of vibration and acoustics engineering and condensed matter physics. Broadly …

Hard-magnetic soft materials belong to the class of active materials that undergo finite
deformation and alter their material properties when subjected to magnetic loading …

Active tuning of frequency bandgaps has received significant attention in the recent past. To
this end, soft compressible phononic composites have indicated great promise owing to their …

Elastic wave propagation characteristics of elastic metamaterial plates embedded scatterer
with various lattices are explored numerically and experimentally in this study, for the …

Vibration characteristics of metamaterial plates manufactured from assemblies of periodic
cells with built-in local resonances are presented. Each cell consists of a base structure …

Dispersion relations govern wave behaviors, and tailoring them is a grand challenge in
wave manipulation. We demonstrate the inverse design of phononic dispersion using …

Local resonance band gaps in acoustic metamaterials are widely known for their strong
attenuation yet narrow frequency span. The latter limits the practical ability to implement …

Wave propagation through a structured medium has attracted the attention of researchers for
centuries due to its relevance to problems in condensed matter physics, chemistry, optics …

Active tuning of elastic wave band gaps received significant attention in the recent past. To
