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 …

This broad review summarizes recent advances and “hot” research topics in nanophononics
and elastic, acoustic, and mechanical metamaterials based on results presented by the …

Multistable mechanical metamaterials are artificial materials whose microarchitectures offer
more than two different stable configurations. Existing multistable mechanical metamaterials …

The design of metamaterials for surface waves control is an emerging field of research
which can impact several technical applications, from electronic devices based on surface …

We investigate how Rayleigh waves interact with time-modulated resonators located on the
free surface of a semi-infinite elastic medium. We begin by studying the dynamics of a single …

We investigate the propagation of Rayleigh waves in a half-space coupled to a nonlinear
metasurface. The metasurface consists of an array of nonlinear oscillators attached to the …

Programmable materials hold great potential for many applications such as deployable
structures, soft robotics, and wave control; however, the presence of instability and disorder …

A spatially reversible and programmable piezoelectric metamaterial concept is introduced
for the manipulation of surface acoustic waves to achieve on-demand wave mode …

We study a magnetogranular chain composed of stainless-steel beads which are placed
inside an appropriately designed periodic magnetic field. The latter provides attractive forces …

In this letter, we provide experimental evidence of bandgap tunability with global prestrain in
additively-manufactured tensegrity-inspired lattice structures. These lattices are extremely …
